About Prosperidad
Where to stay in Prosperidad
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Prosperidad is a residential quarter of Madrid, not a hotel district. Rooms are hard to come by in Prosperidad. Its draws are green and local: the parque de Breogán with its cruceiro, the segments of the Berlin Wall, and the Monument to Julián Besteiro set among ordinary blocks.
If you would rather sleep in a plain city neighbourhood than the tourist centre, Prosperidad puts parkland and everyday Madrid within a short metro ride.
About Prosperidad
What are the main landmarks in Prosperidad?
Prosperidad packs an unusual mix of landmarks into a plain grid. The parque de Breogán shelters a Galician cruceiro, while segments of the Berlin Wall and the Monument to Julián Besteiro stand nearby among the housing blocks. Churches fill out the rest: the Church of San Agustín, the church of Nuestra Señora de Guadalupe, and the Church of Espíritu Santo.
An odd, telling set.
What is the history of Prosperidad?
Prosperidad rose as Madrid spread outward, a residential quarter built up rather than founded on a charter. No single year marks its start. Its later memory shows in what stands there: the Monument to Julián Besteiro, the segments of the Berlin Wall brought to the city, and churches such as the Church of San Agustín that grew with the neighbourhood.
The district shares Madrid's past.
Where is Prosperidad?
