Villaconejos, Municipality in Community of Madrid, Spain
Villaconejos stands as a municipality within the Community of Madrid, featuring agricultural landscapes with olive groves and cereal fields across its territory.
The municipality received its name from the abundance of rabbits in the region, which influenced local hunting practices until the late 16th century.
The Melon Museum in Villaconejos documents the agricultural heritage of the region, highlighting the importance of melon cultivation in local traditions.
The municipality operates under Spain's three-tier administrative system, coordinating services with both the autonomous community and national government structures.
A significant deforestation event in 1561 transformed the local ecosystem, reducing the oak and pine forests that previously supported large rabbit populations.
