About Nueva España
Where to stay in Nueva España
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
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 convent of Madres Reparadoras, the church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, and the Iglesia de Nuestra Señora del Espino, while the Arte Canal Exhibition Centre stands nearby. Unusual markers appear too.
The Berlin Wall segments in Madrid and a marker known as Ancla add unexpected notes, while the Real Madrid Museum draws crowds close by.
What is the history of Nueva España?
Nueva España 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. The story is modern.
Later additions, among them the Berlin Wall segments in Madrid, gave the district its markers within Madrid, Spain.
