Address: Plaza del Alamillo
Metro: La Latina (5 minute walk)
The apartment is in Plaza del Alamillo, in the neighborhood of Madrid known as "Madrid de los Austrias" (Habsburg's Madrid). This area is named after the Habsburg kings, who originally came from Austria, and who ruled Spain in the 16th and 17th centuries. This is the oldest part of Madrid, and one of the city's most beautiful and best-preserved zones. Walk around the small, winding streets and you will travel back in time to the sixteenth century. You will discover churches, plazas, gardens, and parks that will make you feel as if you were in a small, ancient town, instead of in the large metropolis of Madrid.
The apartment is in the historical center of Madrid. From the apartment you can walk in five minutes to Madrid's most important sights: Plaza Mayor, the Royal Palace, Puerta del Sol, the Rastro. Despite its central location, the apartment is on a very quiet street. You will have the advantage of being in the center of the city, yet at the same time staying in a quiet, charming neighborhood.
The apartment is next to the La Latina neighborhood. La Latina is famous for its many restaurants, tapas bars, and terrazas. This is a very lively area of Madrid, and the dining and nightlife options are among the city's best. In the night you will discover how popular this area is among madrileños, who love to have wine and tapas in its crowded mesones. In the summer, you can enjoy having dinner or a drink outdoors in one of the many terrazas near the apartment.
