Where to stay in Corralejos
The practical side of choosing where to sleep.
Corralejos runs green and open rather than built for guests. Its ground is given to Juan Carlos I Park and the grounds of the castle of La Alameda, so visitors who want beds turn to the central districts of Madrid and reach the park from there. Lodging is scarce.
The draw here is space, not a hotel front.

What is the history of Corralejos?

The castle of La Alameda stands from a much older time, a fortified seat left among later fields, while Juan Carlos I Park was laid out across the flat ground as green space. The Plaza de los Emperadores came with the newer streets.
Fields gave way to parkland. The old tower remained.
