About Salvador
Where to stay in Salvador
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Salvador is a residential ward. A bed here puts the Quinta de los Molinos and its two columns within reach, and leaves the rest of Madrid to be reached from San Blas-Canillejas rather than from the centre. Anyone with an errand at Instalación Deportiva Municipal Básica Mallorca is already in the right ward.
Everyone else trades quiet streets and the parroquia de San Ireneo for a longer run into Madrid, which suits a stay measured in weeks more than in nights.
About Salvador
What are the main landmarks in Salvador?
The Columna corintia en la Quinta de los Molinos and the Columna jónica en la Quinta de los Molinos are the most particular things Salvador holds, a matched pair of classical orders standing in the same grounds. Churches follow. The parroquia de San Ireneo and Parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Concepción serve the ward.
Instalación Deportiva Municipal Básica Mallorca completes a short list, the municipal sports ground recorded inside Salvador.
What is the history of Salvador?
Salvador is an administrative unit before it is anything else, a barrio of Madrid drawn inside San Blas-Canillejas, and the record gives its extent but not its beginning. Nobody entered a start year for it. The parish names are the older thread here: parroquia de San Ireneo and Parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Concepción.
Madrid keeps the ward on its register at just under two square kilometres.
Where is Salvador?
The ward is small. Salvador covers under two square kilometres of San Blas-Canillejas, with the Quinta de los Molinos among the ground it counts.
