Where to stay in Colmenar Viejo
Colmenar Viejo is a small town, so your best bet is to stay close to the historic centre, where you'll be within easy walking distance of the municipal market and the main plaza. Town Centre puts you right in the thick of things without needing a car.
If you'd prefer more options or easier transport links, Madrid is only around 30 kilometres away, making it a practical base for a day trip out to the market. Staying somewhere in the north of the capital, like Norte, keeps the journey short and gives you far more choice for accommodation at every budget.
