Arganda del Rey, Municipality in southeastern Community of Madrid, Spain

Located 27 kilometers from Madrid at 618 meters elevation, Arganda del Rey extends across protected environmental areas within the Southeast Regional Park.

The municipality served as the capital of Sexmo de Tajuña until 1214, while Philip II granted it the title of Villa in 1581.

The Church of San Juan Bautista contains a tombstone commemorating the burial location of Miguel de Cervantes' maternal ancestors within its walls.

Arganda del Rey connects to Madrid through regular transportation services and maintains the postal code 28500 for all municipal communications.

The restored Henschel steam locomotive from 1925 operates weekend trips between La Poveda station and Laguna del Campillo during spring and autumn.
