Choose a holiday apartment in Madrid Alonso MartinezThe Alonso Martinez district is an excellent place to look for holiday apartments in Madrid. Alonso Martinez is a preferred location for both residents and visitors because of its central location. If you are planning a holiday in Spain, staying at Alonso Martinez apartments will put you within walking distance of the main shopping, commercial and cultural areas of Madrid. The neighbourhood is home to the Plaza de Colon, which commemorates the New World explorations of explorer Christopher Columbus. The Plaza de Colon contains the bus terminal to Barajas airport, the Colon Metro Station, and the Recoletos Station, where you can catch a cercanias train for a day excursion or for trips to explore the countryside. This makes Alonso Martinez apartments the ideal home base from which to enjoy your holiday in Madrid.When visiting Madrid, a good starting point is the Colon Tourist Center, which is located in the former underground passage beneath Plaza de Colon. The Plaza also contains the Centro Cultural de la Villa, an exhibition hall and theater complex where visitors can enjoy theatrical productions and concerts. On the other side of the plaza is the Museo Arqueologico Nacional (http://man.mcu.es/), which contains a wealth of information about the history of the Iberian peninsula, and Spain's National Library. At the heart of the Alonso Martinez district is Plaza de Santa Barbara, which is filled with shady terraces and hosts an active nightlife. Nearby places to visit include the Malasana district, the Parque del Buen Retiro, the Prado museum, and the Paseo de la Castellana business centre. In addition to many apartments, Alonso Martinez also includes excellent restaurants ranging from tapa bars to coffee shops to fine dining. The cafe Comercial at the Glorieta de Bilbao intersection is one of Madrid's oldest cafes. It was founded in 1887 during the Bourbon Restoration, and served as a literary gathering place in the period after the Spanish Civil War. The cafe Comercial is the place to go for churros and hot chocolate and a game of chess. Another highly recommended restaurant is La Vaca Argentina - Covarrubias, which serves Argentinean cuisine, and La Buganvilla Restaurant, renowned for its paella. Staying in Alonso Martinez apartments will give you a great central location for your holiday in Madrid, but because it is home to the train and metro stations, you are not limited to what is nearby. You have flexibility and convenience, making Alonso Martinez a great holiday choice. |
