Where to stay in Simancas
Where visitors usually base themselves, and why.
Simancas is a barrio for locals more than guests, so most visitors sleep in central Madrid and come out only with a purpose. Its landmarks are parish and park: the Iglesia de la Encarnación del Señor, the Parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Concepción, and the walks of the Quinta de los Molinos. Few hotels operate inside the barrio.
If a green, unhurried base past the tourist streets suits you, Simancas can hold you, though the city core is a metro ride off.

About Simancas
What are the main landmarks in Simancas?
Simancas keeps a small, mixed set of landmarks. The Iglesia de la Encarnación del Señor and the Parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Concepción hold its two parishes. Then there is the park.
Inside the Quinta de los Molinos stand a Columna corintia and a Columna jónica, ornamental columns set among the trees, with a Reloj de sol marking the hours nearby.
What is the history of Simancas?
Simancas grew as one of Madrid's outer residential quarters, filling with homes rather than history. The past is borrowed. From the old estate of the Quinta de los Molinos come the Columna corintia and the Columna jónica, ornamental survivals among the paths.
Two parish churches arrived with the housing, the Iglesia de la Encarnación del Señor and the Parroquia Nuestra Señora de la Concepción.
Where is Simancas?
Simancas covers a little over two square kilometres of Madrid, an outer barrio set beside the Quinta de los Molinos.
