Where to Live Around IE?

If you are going to study at the IE Business School, you might as well live close to it. We've all encountered the situation of moving into a new city and staying the first days in a hotel or Airbnb to get to know the surroundings before making a decision on where to live.

In this post you will find the best neighbourhoods to live right next to your school, because time is precious!

1. Barrio de Salamanca

It is one of the most beautiful neighbourhoods of Madrid and it is close to metro Line 9

2. Barrio de Prosperidad

It is a pretty affordable neighbourhood that is at walking distance from IE with many stores and places to eat and drink. The closest metro line is Line 4. 

3. Barrio de Chamberí

Also close to Line 4, it is one of the best neighbourhoods for students. You will be very close to the Madrid nightlife and your school! great combination!

If you want to leave in another neighbor for whatever reason, madrid is pretty well connected so as long as you are near a metro station you will be fine (or you can also take the bus). 

The MIMs are usually located in the building MM4 (Calla Maria de Molina 4) thus the closest metro station is Gregorio Marañon which has line 7 (orange) and 10 (dark blue). 

If you are an MBA student you will be located in MM31 and the nearest metro would be Av. De America which contain line 4 (brown), 6 (grey), 7 and 9 (purple).

Tierra Burrito

Yes that's right, most of us will probably go there if we feel like eating a burrito during our time at school or even when we need to eat something fast. I would say that Tierra Burrito is in the top 5 of where to eat near to IE but did you know that Tierra is doing happy hour between 4pm-7:30pm?

You could have a big "jarra" of Margarita to choose between "fresa" (strawberry) or "limon" (lemon) for 9.95 Euros or even better:  Margarita + Nacho (very big plate, don't underestimate it) for 14.95 Euros. Good news if you prefer having your Margarita later, Tierra is also doing happy hour from 11:30pm til closing time!

If you still want to enjoy a Margarita during happy hour outside school here the different addresses:

• Serrano ,93 (Closest Metro: Gregorio Marañon)
• Espoz y Mina, 9 (Closest Metro: Sol)
• General Yagüe, 12 (Closest Metro: Cuzco)
• Calle Sagasta, 30 (Closest Metro: Alonso Martinez)
• Guzman el Bueno, 52 (Closest Metro: Islas Filipinas)
• Bravo Murillo, 107 (Closest Metro: Cuatro Camino)

NB: Not all the Tierra stores have the happy hour between 4pm-7:30pm.
