In the vibrant Plaza Santa Ana, a meeting point and the true heart of the city, you'll find two iconic buildings in Madrid: the Teatro Español and the Hotel Victoria, which was traditionally favored by famous bullfighters in its heyday. Surrounding the square, there are many famous bars, cafés, and pubs like La Alemana, frequented by renowned writers such as Jardiel, Valle Inclán, and Ernest Hemingway. In the famous Plaza del Ángel, you'll find the renowned Café Central, a jazz temple in the city, located very close to the Church of San Sebastián. Among the church records, you can find birth, marriage, and death certificates of important figures like Cervantes and Lope de Vega.
