Where to stay in San Pascual
How the choice of base plays out on the ground.
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. Very few hotels stand here.
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.
