Usera, Multicultural district in southern Madrid, Spain

The neighborhood extends along the southern bank of Manzanares River, containing seven wards including Orcasitas, Orcasur, San Fermín, and Almendrales.

During the 1960s, Usera underwent substantial development as immigrants from rural Spain established commercial and service industries in the district.

A significant Chinese population resides in the district, making it a center for authentic Chinese restaurants, shops, and celebrations throughout the year.

The district connects to central Madrid through two commuter train stations on the C-5 line and three metro lines with frequent service.

Pradolongo Park spans 60 hectares within the district, featuring a botanical garden, lake, and serves as a venue for Chinese New Year celebrations.
