Tetuán

Tetuán (District 6) lies north of Chamberí, west of the Paseo de la Castellana. Its origins go back to an army camp set up in 1860 after the Spanish-Moroccan War, around which traders and later new arrivals to Madrid settled. Wikipedia gives a population of over 151,000.

Its six wards are Bellas Vistas, Cuatro Caminos, Castillejos, Almenara, Valdeacederas and Berruguete.

• Wikipedia calls it one of Madrid's most heterogeneous districts, architecturally and socially: from the skyscrapers of AZCA, Madrid's financial centre, to small, older houses in the west.
• Calle Bravo Murillo is the district's backbone; west of it, Bellas Vistas, Berruguete and Valdeacederas have older, lower buildings, while the east has been more extensively redeveloped.
• Wikipedia notes that it has one of the largest foreign-born populations among Madrid's districts, which has also made its population younger.

• Metro: line 1 runs under Bravo Murillo with six stations (Plaza de Castilla, Valdeacederas, Tetuán, Estrecho, Alvarado, Cuatro Caminos); lines 2, 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 also serve the district.
• Cercanías at Nuevos Ministerios in the south-east corner.
• One of the city's two municipal immigrant information offices is in Calle Juan Pantoja, near Alvarado.

A mix of older, lower buildings and modern apartment blocks. Asking rents are a little below the city average, and OCU counted Tetuán among the districts with the most rental listings in May 2026.

The district has public and private schools. The Huerta del Obispo park is one of its green spaces.
