Los Ahijones, Urban development district in Vicálvaro, Madrid, Spain
Los Ahijones is a new residential district in eastern Madrid with apartments, shops, and parks. The area also has schools, hospitals, and sports facilities for residents.
The area was home to early cultures in the past, as excavations show. Between 2010 and 2011, researchers found a Visigothic burial ground with hundreds of tombs from the 5th to 7th centuries.
The neighborhood blends residential living with green spaces where residents and visitors walk and rest together. The layout shows how new construction and nature can coexist in daily life.
The district is well-developed for cyclists and connected to the city's main roads. Visitors can easily reach bus stops and other forms of transport.
Beneath the modern buildings lie traces of people who lived here hundreds of thousands of years ago. A flint tool dating back up to 300,000 years shows that humans visited this location since ancient times.
