Where to stay around Madrid?

Hi there,

We’re planning a trip around Madrid to visit the must-see spots—Alcalá de Henares, El Escorial, Chinchón, etc. We’ll be traveling from Béziers by train and getting around by bus or train. Which village would be the best base for a week-long stay, given that Madrid itself is too expensive for us?

Thanks for your help!

Hi Thérèse, Alcalá de Henares is a good option, well served by Cercanías (RER) if you're traveling outside of holiday dates—you should be able to find reasonable prices. Best regards
