Where to stay in Nueva España
Where the beds are, and what that means for the visit.
Nueva España gives Madrid a settled residential base, well away from the crowds of the old centre. Its streets are lined with flats and offices rather than hotels, so beds are limited, though the district sits close to the Real Madrid Museum and the Palace of Duques de Pastrana. The tone is orderly.
If you want a calm Madrid neighbourhood over sights on the doorstep, streets near the church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe suit a quiet stay.
About Nueva España
What are the main landmarks in Nueva España?
Nueva España counts the Palace of Duques de Pastrana among its landmarks. Religious buildings mark the district too, among them the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Espino, with the church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe toward Hispanoamérica and the convent of Madres Reparadoras toward Castilla, while the Arte Canal Exhibition Centre stands nearby. Unusual markers appear too.
A marker known as Ancla adds one, the Real Madrid Museum draws crowds close by, and the Berlin Wall segments in Madrid stand toward Ciudad Jardín.
What is the history of Nueva España?
Nueva España, a barrio of the Chamartín district, grew as Madrid expanded outward into new residential ground. Its blocks of flats and offices took shape with the twentieth-century growth of the city, rising around older buildings such as the Palace of Duques de Pastrana rather than from any village core of its own.
