Alcobendas, Administrative district in northern Madrid, Spain

Alcobendas encompasses 44.98 square kilometers of land with a population of 117,000 residents and includes residential areas, commercial zones, and industrial parks.

The settlement first appeared in official records during a 1208 border delimitation between Segovia and Madrid, later becoming a gift from the Castilian Crown.

The municipality maintains several museums, including the National Science and Technology Museum and Spain's largest public photography collection within its boundaries.

The transportation network features four metro stations on Line 10, two suburban railway stations, and multiple bus routes connecting to central Madrid.

Alcobendas houses the headquarters of 554 multinational corporations, making it the third Spanish city by business turnover after Madrid and Barcelona.
