Puente de Vallecas
Madrid Neighbourhood Guide
Authentic, gritty, community-driven
Working-class, fiercely proud, and covered in some of the boldest street art in Madrid — a neighbourhood built on solidarity and football rivalry (Rayo Vallecano) rather than tourism. Where real madrileños actually live, well away from the postcard centre.
