Where to stay in Aluche
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Aluche works as a plain, well-linked base in Madrid. Rooms here stand among long residential blocks near the Palacio Vistalegre arena and the Centro Deportivo Municipal La Mina, a good way out from the tourist core of the city. The feel is local.
If you want quiet everyday streets and quick metro links rather than sightseeing on the doorstep, Aluche keeps the arena and its squares within easy reach.
