Quite simply, Diana's place is close to everything - major sites, restaurants, cafes, grocery markets, bakeries, gyms. The Catedral de la Almudena and Royal Palace are a five minute stroll from the place. All the major museums are within walking distance or a quick Metro ride away. We were able to do long runs in Parque De El Retiro, Casa De Campo and along the Rio Manzanares. And, if you want tapas and a cerveza, Market San Miguel is next door.
