Between Spain & Portugal, Madrid & Lisboa…

The Triball area – Triangle Ballesta Madrid – is limited by Gran Vía, Calle Fuencarral y this Corredera Baja de San Pablo. Inside are streets like Desengaño, Barco and Ballesta as well as important monuments such as the Church of San Antonio de los Alemanes which entrance is done byte Corredera. During our stroll by Malasaña we learned a bit more about this Street, one of the most interesting mainly by the restaurants one can find there.

But before entering the culinary section of the street, talk about the idleness and the Lara Theater opened in 1880. Still in business I’m very curious to see it on the inside because I know it retains much of its original appearance.
As for restaurants there are two or three that stand out, the Maricastaña, the Circo de Tapas and Aiô that joins the good range of Italian and pizza restaurants in the area.

We had been “lost“ in Malasaña when we got into this pleasant square dedicated to San Ildefonso of Toledo that legend says received a chasuble during an apparition of the Virgin. Here is a church dedicated to the saint that was closed and the other major point of interest was their Market which closed in 1970 but reopened now in its most modern version near the Fuencarral. (see post Mercado San Ildefonso)

Ao centro da praça estão as esplanadas de alguns dos restaurantes á volta, um dos mais conhecidos é o La Bicicleta Café mas há outros como o Naif, o Maki e o Conache oferecendo variedade gastronómica á zona. Outros elementos que adornam a praça são uma fonte e esta estátua da menina estudante, feita em bronze foi aqui instalada em 1996 e é obra do escultor Rafael González García.
