Aravaca
Your residential and quiet hideaway
Overview
Tranquil. Spacious.
Sound like your thing?
Aravaca is a quiet suburban area near beautiful Casa de Campo park.
There are lots of good schools here. So it's perfect for families. Aravaca also has 2 cercanías commuter train stations but no metro station. It might suit car owners more.
What can I do here?
Go to Casa de Campo – it's a 17,226,000 m² park. Big then. Lots of room in which to walk, run, and ride your bike. Keep an eye out for squirrels, rabbits, and magpies as you go.
The Zoo Aquarium has 6,000 animals from 500 species. It opened for business in 1770. Experienced...
Parque de Atracciones is Madrid's amusement park. It has a roller coaster called Abyss. It shoots you 50 metres above the earth at 100 kilometres per hour. Rather you than me.
Ride the cable car. The generous views of Madrid across the gentle green sea of Casa de Campo will bring you peace.
Need more?...
Get yourself on a cercanías (commuter train) to the nearby city centre. Puerta del Sol and Plaza Mayor are good places to start your love affair with Madrid.
Madrid fact
Aravaca was once an independent municipality. But it was annexed by Madrid in 1949. Unifying.
