Where to stay in Valdemaqueda
Valdemaqueda is a small village in the Sierra de Guadarrama foothills, so accommodation options are limited locally. Your best bet is to stay in town centre if you can find a rural house or guesthouse, or base yourself in nearby El Escorial for a wider choice of hotels within easy driving distance.
If you prefer to stay closer to Madrid city, Madrid city centre puts you about an hour away by car, giving you access to the full range of accommodation while still making a day trip to the market very manageable.
