This is a perfect place for those who love urban and alternative fashion, and it is always full of young people who buy the latest trends.
This street is also lovely because of its most commercial stretch (the one that begins in Gran Via)that is pedestrian, so you can walk up and down quietly. Chueca borough, which is the gay area in Madrid, is really close to this street and its influence can be appreciated in the showcases of these shops. Tribunal and Malasaña borough, is one of the liveliest areas to go out to at night. It is also very near here, so a perfect plan for you could be shopping and then later having a cup.
