Calle del Carmen, Pedestrian street in Sol, Madrid, Spain
Calle del Carmen extends from Puerta del Sol to Plaza de Santo Domingo, featuring numerous retail stores, restaurants, and commercial establishments along its length.
The street underwent transformation from a convent-dominated area with agricultural plots to become one of Madrid's first pedestrian zones in October 1973.
The street name reflects the religious influence of the Virgin of Carmen, while modern retail spaces now line this central commercial corridor.
The street connects to major transportation hubs and shopping areas, with Doña Manolita lottery shop drawing regular crowds of hopeful players.
This street forms part of Madrid's largest open-air shopping district, hosting a mix of international brands and traditional Spanish establishments.
