What it is like

  • A centre you can walk
  • Puerta de Hierro hospital
  • On the school-bus network

Central Madrid is just over half an hour away by train and Metro, and longer by car at rush hour. Commuting five days a week to the Castellana is a calculation worth doing carefully.

  • Space for the money
  • Its own jobs
  • Schools around

Central Madrid is more than half an hour away by train and Metro and about twenty kilometres by road. Commuting daily to the northern Castellana or the east of the city is a long trip.
