Before its current swanky incarnation as the fashionable Me Madrid Reina Victoria, the gleaming white hotel on Plaza Santa Ana was a favourite of artists, writers and particularly bullfighters. With a corner turret topped with a spherical beacon, the hotel was designed by Jesús Carrasco y Encina in 1919 - so will be celebrating its centenary next year. Those alarmingly tall cypresses on the left are a reminder of the cemetery of the adjacent San Sebastián church, that used to be where there is now a florist’s at the top of calle Huertas, where many literary and theatrical figures were buried. . . . #barriodelasletras #barriodelasletrasmadrid #madrid #madridmemata #madridmemola #igersmadrid #memadrid #memadridreinavictoria

Wonder how long it’ll be before all the old hostal residencias in Madrid disappear. What tales their walls - and leatherette sofas - could tell. Bet this one near Plaza Santa Ana gets turned into holiday apartments soon. . . #madrid #barriodelasletras #barriodelasletrasmadrid #madridmemata #madridmemola #igersmadrid #hostal

The elaborate tiled decoration that you see on shopfronts and bars as you walk around Madrid was popular from the late 19th century until around 1930 and was an early form of advertising. A lot has been lost, but now there is more interest in saving these works of art, which were created by ceramicists who came from Talavera, Seville and Valencia. This one is on Ventura De la Vega, near Plaza Santa Ana in the Barrio de las Letras . . #madrid #madridmemola #madridmemata #igersmadrid #azulejos #tiles #barriodelasletras #barriodelasletrasmadrid #madridcastizo #spain
