Castellana

Castellana is a location in Madrid, Spain. Recent news highlights two distinct aspects of the area. First, it's experiencing a surge in new restaurant openings, with several notable establishments launching this year, including a tuna-focused restaurant in the Salamanca neighborhood. Second, Castellana is central to preparations for a visit from Pope Leo XIV, scheduled for June 6-9. The city anticipates potentially hosting up to two million people for a mass and other events held across several plazas along Castellana. This visit marks the first Papal visit to Madrid in 14 years, since the World Youth Day in 2011, making the logistical planning and execution of the event a high priority for the city.
