Getting There

Calle de Goya 107, in the Goya quarter of Madrid's Salamanca district, opposite the WiZink Center.

Nearby

Goya is Salamanca with the volume turned down, a shopping-and-lunching grid where the standards are high and the rooms are comfortable. The eating is broad and dependable rather than experimental. Parque del Buen Retiro is close enough to build a day around.
