Spain)
or Getafe accommodation? The city of Getafe forms a part of the southern Madrid metropolitan area, and is heavily populated and industrialized. It is also where you will find the Cerro de Los Angeles, or Hill of Angels, which is considered to be the centre, geographically speaking, of the Iberian Peninsula. There are nearly one hundred and sixty thousand permanent residents in Getafe, many of whom are students at the university, or work at one of the many companies based in the city. Being so close to Madrid and having such an excellent public transport system, Getafe is often seen as interchangeable with Madrid, in terms of hotel accommodation. This has resulted in a large number of hotels in the city, and many using it as a base to explore Madrid. There are, however, interesting sights to see in Getafe itself. These include the Castilian style Hospitalillo de San Jose, which was built in 1529, and the renaissance era Getafe Cathedral. There is also the 17th century Colegio de Escuelos Pios, or religious school, and the Biblioteca Ricardo de la Vega, which started out as a prison in the 17th century, and was converted into a library in the 20th. Being a large city, there is just about everything else you could ask for in a tourist destination – from restaurants serving a variety of cuisines to nightclubs, festivals, shopping centers and precincts to parks and more. Definitely well worth visiting, if only as a side trip from Madrid. - Browse the Getafe Map or compare Getafe accommodation from Hotels, Motels, B&Bs,
