Puente de Vallecas, Administrative district in southern Madrid, Spain.
Puente de Vallecas is a district in southern Madrid comprising six separate neighborhoods that together form a residential area. The terrain sits at about 633 meters elevation and is defined by major roads and public spaces that connect the different sections.
The district took shape during Madrid's industrial expansion in the early 1900s, when outlying settlements were integrated into the growing city. This transformation created the foundation for the current residential area.
The six neighborhoods here each have their own community centers where locals gather and organize activities together. Over time, each area developed its own character and role in how residents live.
Getting around is straightforward thanks to multiple metro stations and bus routes connecting this area to central Madrid. If you need to handle official matters, administrative offices are located at Calle Sierra Salvada 6.
The district stands out for having one of the highest population densities in Madrid, housing many residents within a relatively compact space. This density shapes how the area looks and feels in daily life.
