Where to stay in Palomeras Sureste
Not every neighbourhood fits every trip — here's what each one is good for.
Palomeras Sureste is a mainly residential quarter of Puente de Vallecas rather than a hotel district. Palomeras Sureste holds only a few rooms of its own. Most visitors to this corner of Madrid book rooms in the central districts and ride out to see the Museo de Bomberos de Madrid, whose engines and ladders draw families and enthusiasts alike.
Stay central. If you want a quiet base away from the crowds of the Comunidad de Madrid, the neighbourhood offers calm streets and easy road links back into the city.
