Where to stay in Numancia
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Numancia offers Madrid a plain residential base, its streets given over to homes rather than sightseeing. Built up as housing rather than a hotel quarter, the ward keeps few beds of its own, so most visitors book nearer the centre of Madrid, Spain, and travel out to it. The setting is quiet.
If you want an ordinary Madrid neighbourhood over sights on the doorstep, Numancia offers a calm local stay.

About Numancia
What are the main landmarks in Numancia?
Few monuments stand within Numancia itself. The Museo de Bomberos de Madrid, in the wider Puente de Vallecas, is the nearest museum. The larger draws lie northwest, toward the Retiro and Atocha edge of the capital.
Most sightseeing means a short trip out.
What is the history of Numancia?
Numancia grew as one of the residential barrios of Puente de Vallecas, on the southeastern side of Madrid, Spain. The wider Vallecas area began as a separate town on the road out of the capital and was absorbed into the city as Madrid spread outward in the twentieth century. Working-class housing filled these blocks.
The ward carries little monumental history of its own, and its past is bound up with the growth of Vallecas rather than with any older settlement on the ward's own streets.
