The Plaza Santa Ana or Saint Anne Square straddles both the sophisticated literary neighbourhood of Huertas and the bustling central core of the city which includes Puerta del Sol. It's the perfect place to people watch and has many bars from which to order your typical cerveza and watch the world go by. Before Napoleons brother got hold of city planning, Madrid was cramped and overcrowded without open spaces. The king of the squares took things into his own hands and demolished over 17 convents in 6 months. Archaeologists and historians among you will gasp in horror at these losses but the undeniable gain was a beautiful square like Santa Ana. It provides essential breathing space before re-entering the crowded metropolis. If you feel like staying awhile longer one of the city's leading theatres, Spanish theatre or Teatro Espanol is located in this square.

Plaza Santa Ana is located in the neighbourhood of Huertas and near great attractions like Sol, Plaza Mayor and The Thyseen Bornemisza Museum and hotels like ME Madrid Reina Victoria, NH Palacio De Tepa and Catalonia Plaza Mayor
