Tips

With your online check-in, you can also purchase the beverage package, a choice of discounted specialty restaurants, pre-paid tips and other promotions. On site, prices are a little more expensive than if you buy it in advance.

There is no captain’s night or gala like on other ships so you do not need to bring clothes for a gala evening.

De los Charcones Square, Navalcarnero, Madrid, Spain

rose Leave a comment

De los Charcones Square is located in Navalcarnero, Madrid, Spain. Formerly in the rainy season, where now stands the square, large puddles were formed; ‘ Charcones ‘ in Spanish, that is why the place was baptized with that name. The place is quite spacious and apart from the use as a place of recreation, it is used as an outdoor cinema in summer. It is very close to the arena or Plaza de Toros Felix Colomo. Not far from the square, there is the Park ‘De los Charcones ‘ with an artificial lake and many green spaces.

Tips

The square is a good place to get some rest, if you visit the city on foot, there are benches to sit down but no so many trees in the shade so if the day is hot, you should better continue walking a little to rest directly in the park.
