Where to stay in Fuenlabrada
Fuenlabrada is a working suburb of Madrid, so your best bet is to stay close to the town centre where you'll find the most convenient transport links and local amenities. Try Centro for easy access to El Arroyo and the surrounding streets on market day.
If you'd prefer more options or want to explore wider Madrid too, staying just a metro or cercanías ride away in the south of the capital works well. Leganés is a solid nearby base, and commuting in for the market takes very little time.
