Where to stay in Latina
Where you base yourself shapes the visit — here's the character of each area.
Latina makes an affordable, everyday base on the Madrid side of the Manzanares. Rooms sit among long residential avenues near the Parque de Atracciones de Madrid and the green riverside of the Terrazas del Manzanares, a short metro ride on the Carpetana line from the centre of the capital. The mood is local.
If you want parks, the funfair, and the river over a central Madrid address, Latina keeps the río Manzanares and its amusement park close at hand in Spain.
