Where to stay in Colina
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Colina holds almost no lodging. The district runs to housing and small parish churches, the Church of San Juan Bautista and the iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Tránsito among them, so travellers book across the central quarters of Madrid instead. Lodging belongs to the centre here.
Come here for a settled neighbourhood, not a hotel strip.
