The right street
Plaza de Santa Ana and Calle del Prado are the classic addresses — lively until midnight, elegant after. Downhill toward Antón Martín the barrio gets more local and cheaper, with the Mercado de Antón Martín's stalls as your canteen. Anything here is under 10 minutes' walk from all three museums of the Golden Triangle.
