About Santa Eugenia
Where to stay in Santa Eugenia
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Santa Eugenia is a place to live rather than to visit, and travellers almost always base themselves in central Madrid instead. The barrio runs on daily routine, with the Church of San Pedro Ad-vincula and the Centro Deportivo Municipal Cerro Almodóvar among its few fixed points. Beds are rare here.
Should a plain, low-key base suit you, this quarter will serve, but the sights lie a train ride away.
