Why It Feels Like Madrid
Inman Park and Ponce City Market give Atlanta a neighborhood-scale European feel that its suburban sprawl obscures from the highway. The BeltLine trail threading converted rail corridors through walkable brickwork neighbourhoods mirrors Madrid's Manzanares riverside regeneration. Atlanta's food and cocktail culture punches well above its global profile.
