10 Things to do in Chamberí That You Shouldn't Miss

March 18, 2022 Roseanne Arnett

So many of Madrid’s buildings look like castles, you’ll think you’ve stumbled into a fairytale. Even City Hall is astounding, with its white pinnacles and neo-Gothic features. A self-guided architecture tour can begin by the great bear statue in the central Puerta del Sol. Wander by the fanciful Royal Palace before absorbing the natural beauty of Retiro Park, then visit one of the city’s many museums. You could happily cap off each day by nibbling on forkfuls of paella while sipping Spanish rioja.

Interesting private collection, specially how the family today continues the legacy of (a) the art culture and preservation of it, and (b) inspiring others to do art and become artists.

Museo Sorolla

The Sorolla Museum preserves the original atmosphere of both home and study of the painter Joaquín Sorolla y Bastida (Valencia, 1863 - Cercedilla, 1923). It houses the richest collection of his works, colourful paintings irradiating light and vitality. It is one of the more complete and best preserved artist homes remaining in Europe. The garden, also designed by himself, is a beautiful oasis in the city.

This small museum in a smart part of Madrid is a gem. Not crowded, cheap entry fee, excellent English signage and audio and peaceful. It is worlds away from the bedlam of the Prado and Thyssen. It is Sorolla’s house and garden and we spent a leisurely hour or so taking in the beauty and cleverness of this wonderful Spanish artist who specialised in ‘light’. Plenty of really good cafes close by for a coffee afterwards. Highly recommended.

This is one of the first Metro stations in Madrid which has been restored to much as it was 100 years ago. It has the original tiles, station furniture and even advertising. There is an introductory video in Spanish which is worth watching even if you don't speak Spanish then you can wander around freely or if you speak Spanish you can join a guided tour. The station was closed in the 1960s when they brought in longer trains and felt it was uneconomical to lengthen the platform of this station as it is on a curve. Trains still run on the tracks though so there is a glass partition with a train passing by every couple of minutes. I found a very helpful member of staff who spoke excellent English and explained a lot to me.

Reviewed By ManuelCaastillo - Bogota, Colombia

A fantastic and ideal place to go with children. An example of the vast Spanish experience in geology and mining, with plans from 1889 that differ little from the current ones. A wide and very well organized collection, by families and by locations. And it's free.
