Madrid of the Austrians: It’s all so regal

Princes, princesses, kings and queens have strolled down the streets of Madrid, and they continue to do so, but the first royals arrived in the 16th Century when Madrid’s population barely reached 30 thousand inhabitants. It seems difficult to believe but, according to the latest census, there are now more than 3 million people in the inner city.

Philip II, the first king to settle in Madrid, began expanding and developing the city. It was this king and his dynasty, the Austrians, who were behind the first historical and tourist sites: the Royal Palace and surrounding gardens, the Plaza Mayor, Calle Toledo, Plaza de la Paja, Calle Segovia,….Strolling through this labyrinth of streets will transport us in time, but with no need for the DeLorean in Back to the Future.

Plaza Jacinto Benavente: from playwright to city square

Mola!Hostel is in a centrally located square called Plaza de Jacinto Benavente. Jacinto Benavente was a Spanish playwright in the 19th Century who was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1922. This is rather curious as, when he received the prize, the square in which Mola!Hostel is situated did not actually exist. It was four years later, and after a few buildings were knocked down that this space was opened up, and it was in fact used by the Bank of Spain as its headquarters during its early years. If you find all this interesting, there is still a lot more!

Madrid is full of interesting stories. What are you waiting for? Come and visit us!
