Villa de Vallecas, Residential district in southeast Madrid, Spain.
Villa de Vallecas encompasses three distinct neighborhoods: Casco Histórico de Vallecas, Santa Eugenia, and Ensanche de Vallecas, each with different architectural characteristics.
The area transformed from a separate municipality into one of Madrid's 21 districts in 1950, marking a significant change in its administrative structure.
The district maintains strong working-class roots, reflected in the local practice of spelling Vallecas with a K, visible in community media outlets.
The district connects to central Madrid through multiple metro stations and bus lines, making it accessible for its 65,162 residents and visitors.
The recent construction of 25,000 housing units in PAU de Vallecas represents one of Madrid's largest urban expansion projects.
