Where to stay in Timón
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Timón is not a base for sightseeing. The ward runs to nearly ten square kilometres of Barajas without a single recorded landmark, so a stay here is chosen for what is nearby rather than for what is inside it. Barajas is the district to search when Timón itself has nothing.
Anyone whose day is spent in Madrid proper will lose time travelling in and out, and should weigh that against the quiet of a ward with no visitor traffic.

About Timón
What are the main landmarks in Timón?
Barajas keeps its sights outside Timón. The record for this ward of Barajas carries a name, an extent of nearly ten square kilometres, and nothing else that Madrid has thought to register as a sight. Visitors looking for monuments look to other Madrid wards.
What Timón offers instead is space, a broad piece of Barajas whose interest lies in where it sits rather than in what stands on it.
What is the history of Timón?
The history here is administrative. Timón exists as one of the wards into which Madrid divides Barajas, and the record holds its boundaries and its extent without offering a date, a founder or a first settlement. The chain is simple: Spain, then Madrid, then the Barajas district, then Timón.
Nothing older than that survives in the entry.
Where is Timón?
The ward is unusually large. Close to ten square kilometres of Barajas fall inside Timón, and Madrid records no landmark within them.
