Pozuelo de Alarcón

Pozuelo de Alarcón is a residential area northwest of Madrid, marked by Mediterranean pine trees and housing developments spread across hills and valleys. Green spaces and small parks appear throughout the municipality, offering places to walk and spend time outdoors.

The area shifted from farmland to a residential zone during the late twentieth century. Transport links and new roads drove growth in the following decades.

The municipality organizes multiple annual celebrations including Fiestas Patronales in July and September, along with Fiestas del Carmen and San Sebastián throughout the year.

Two Cercanías stations and the Metro Ligero line ML2 connect the area to central Madrid. Roads such as the A6 and M503 provide access by car from different directions.

The municipality maintains the highest per capita income in Spain, with exclusive areas like La Finca housing numerous professional athletes and notable public figures.
