The living room of Chamberí: an octagonal, tree-lined square of terraces, tortilla, children and the Sunday caña, where an octagonal market stood until it was demolished in the 1970s. The Financial Times' Simon Kuper called it 'the European dream'; the 2024 renovation gave it more space for people.
