Legazpi Station in Madrid

Legazpi is a neighborhood located in the southern part of Madrid that is known for its modern and vibrant atmosphere. The area is named after the Spanish explorer and missionary Juan de Legazpi, who played a key role in the colonization of the Philippines. One of the main attractions of Legazpi is the Matadero Madrid, a cultural center that was once a slaughterhouse and has now been transformed into a space for art exhibitions, performances, and workshops. Visitors can also enjoy the panoramic views of the city from the rooftop of the nearby CaixaForum Madrid museum, which houses a collection of modern and contemporary art.
