The literary quarter of Madrid is called Barrio de las Letras. It was home to many Spanish Golden Age writers, such as Miguel de Cervantes, playwright Lope De Vega, and poet Quevedo. The neighborhood offers a variety of unique restaurants, shops, and bars to visit.

The National Library of Spain and its museum are less known attractions in Madrid, but still worth visiting. Some of the oldest collections in the library are the Leonardo da Vinci’s Madrid Codices, Miguel de Cervantes archives, and the Metz Codex, the eleventh century manuscript Beato de Don Fernando.
