My Vegan Guide of Madrid
Barrios
The most multicultural neighborhood in Madrid is a paradise for vegans and was the first neighborhood that became veganized in the whole city.
This old castizo neighborhood now has the “cool” seal at “Time Out” Magazine and it attracts new hipster neighbors which are mixed with the humble local population.
There’s a traditional flavor in the environment, mixed with a couple of decades of being a wholesales bazar and transforming with socially significant cultural centers.
A fun, surprising mix.

Malasaña was and still is the prime example of a nightlife neighborhood, where very diverse restaurants started to appear and, then, vegan options were multiplied, which perfectly fit the open, rebellious, young mentality of the neighborhood. What a Vegan Hot Spot!
It is a benchmark for Madrid’s trends, a mix of traditional and experimental, old and new.
Thanks to this fusion, veganism has strongly settled in a neighborhood that already enjoyed being different and ground-breaking.
A perfect combination.
