Aravaca, Residential district in Moncloa-Aravaca, Spain.
Aravaca spreads across three distinct areas, including the main neighborhood, Valdemarín, and El Plantío, encompassing residential properties and numerous green spaces.
Originally an independent city with its own town hall until 1951, Aravaca transformed from a separate village into an integrated neighborhood of Madrid.
The neighborhood maintains remnants of traditional Castilian architecture in the Baja de la Iglesia street, where the parish church stands among historical houses.
Located 9 kilometers from Madrid center, Aravaca connects to the city through frequent bus services, a railway station, and metro lines.
Military bunkers from the Spanish Civil War remain visible in the local parks, marking the three-year front line during the Siege of Madrid.
