About San Pascual
Where to stay in San Pascual
The right area depends on your trip — here's what each neighbourhood is best for.
San Pascual is a quarter to live in rather than to lodge in, and most travellers take rooms in central Madrid and ride out when they have reason to. The parque de Breogán, the Museo Taurino de Madrid, and the parroquia de San Alejandro give the streets their character. Hotels are few.
If a quiet, workaday base beyond the visitor circuit appeals to you, this barrio fits, but expect to travel for the museums and the old centre.
