Seseña

Seseña is a municipality in Toledo Province situated between Madrid and Toledo, characterized by residential areas and farmland. The terrain spreads across flat ground at moderate elevation between these two cities.

The municipality played a strategic role during the Spanish Civil War, witnessing one of the conflict's first tank engagements in 1936. This early military action marked an important moment in the war's development.

The town has become a destination for people moving from the Madrid region, bringing together long-time residents with newcomers who shape daily life. Local celebrations and community events help neighbors connect across their different backgrounds.

The town connects to Madrid through good road networks and sits about 34 kilometers from the capital. This makes it convenient for those who work in Madrid and seek housing in a nearby location.

A major housing project around 2008 created 13,500 homes and rapidly transformed the landscape and population. This swift shift from farmland to residential development remains the defining feature of the place today.
