The Little Bear Madrid

Property Description

If city breaks for you are all about exploring a new culture and seeing how the locals live, this is the perfect apartment for your visit to Madrid. It can be found in the colourful La Latina neighbourhood, and is within walking distance of all the major sights in the city while still giving you an authentic taste of Madrid.

The apartment is bright and cool. Light pours in through the balcony doors, which open onto a charming outside space ideal for breakfast or for a late-afternoon tipple after a day seeing the sights. The balcony is like a theatre box from which to watch the bustling neighbourhood come to life each day – you’re in the heart of the city here.

La Latina is a lively part of Madrid, full of chic restaurants and stylish boutiques. Street art adds a modern touch to the architecture – this is a cool part of town for sure. Finding a cosy corner for a glass of wine or a round of tapas is effortless – it’s the choosing that’s tricky. Luckily your hosts are passionate about the area so can give you their top tips.

An eleven-minute walk will take you to Plaza Mayor, a bustling square lined with restaurants and cafes. We love a spot of people-watching on holiday so it’s a firm favourite of ours. You might like to wander over to the Royal Palace, which is built on the site of the old Alcazar fortress. It’s sixteen minutes on foot from the apartment. For an afternoon of fresh air, take a picnic to El Retiro Park. We like to stop by a market for fresh bread and Spanish cheese and meats. The park is twenty-seven minutes from the apartment.

If exploring on foot is proving too tiring, you can zip around the city on the metro. The La Latina stop is just three minutes from your front door. This apartment is a haven in the middle of a vibrant and beautiful city – it makes for a wonderful home base, and has everything you need.
