Accommodation and Facilities for the house in Madrid Area, Spain

Altitude

The house is located at an altitude of 1200 metres - hence the amazing views, and the pleasant temperatures in summer. As it is 600 metres higher than the city of Madrid, this can be seen in the distance and the lights at night provide a wonderful spectacle. Madrileños use it as an escape from the summer heat. Leading out of the village is a road which leads to the mountain passes of Canencia at 1500 metres and Morcuera at 1800 metres. Depending on the year's snowfall, Morcuera which is 8 kilometres from the village, is used as a base for cross-country skiing. Pick up and drop off to/from airport to house can be arranged for up to seven people + luggage at a cost of 50 Euros each way.

The village

One of the prettiest in the province of Madrid, the village centre of Miraflores (at an altitude of 1100 metres) is a ten minute stroll downhill from the house. A little more on the way back. The village centre is completely pedestrianised and with its many bars and terrazas is an ideal spot to have your pre-lunch/dinner 'aperitivo' while children play safely within view on the plaza.

Madrid

Madrid is a 45 minute drive or an hour by buses which run every hour. Buses arrive in Plaza Castilla from where the metro can be taken to the Prado, Reina Sofia art gallery, Thyssen museum, Royal Palace, Plaza Mayor, shopping streets of Serrano and Goya and the Retiro (Madrid's version of New York's central park). The metro is one of the most efficient in Europe and runs from 6 a.m. to 2 a.m.
