With a holiday in Fuencarral, you’ll have the chance to explore Madrid from one of the neighbourhoods that has best preserved its original villa personality.
Fuencarral was an independent town, or villa, until it was annexed by Madrid in 1950, into the Fuencarral-El Pardo district. It’s the ideal place to settle down, far from the hustle and bustle of the big city, as it is the largest green lung in the capital, thanks to the hills of Pardo and Soto de Viñuelas.
At Expedia, we offer cheap trips to Fuencarral so you can get the chance to explore a magnificent district just a stone's throw from Madrid's famous shopping district, with architectural jewels such as El Pardo Palace, one of the royal family's residences. You’ll be able to visit a host of monuments built around the palace by the Spanish monarchy: it includes outstanding buildings, such as the Casita del Príncipe, conceived as a leisure palace for King Carlos IV, or the convent of the Capuchin Fathers, which is home to a carving of the Recumbent Christ that dates back to the 17th century. Not far from here is the Palace of La Zarzuela, and though it cannot be visited, you can certainly enjoy the park that surrounds it.
