Cadalso de los Vidrios

Cadalso de los Vidrios, Municipality in southwest Community of Madrid, Spain

Cadalso de los Vidrios is a municipality in the southwest of the Community of Madrid, spreading across 47 square kilometers at an elevation of 804 meters. The town sits in the Sistema Central region and shapes the landscape with its historic structures and natural surroundings.

The town's name comes from wooden scaffolding that was used during early settlement as a building aid, tracing its origins to medieval times. This early connection to craftsmanship and construction shaped the community's identity and influenced its economic direction.

The Church of San Andrés shapes the local landscape with its Gothic design and serves as a central gathering point for residents. It shows how the community has organized its religious and social life around this building.

Visitors can find the town hall at Calle Real 36 for administrative matters, open Monday through Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:30 PM. Weekdays offer the best time to experience local services and the town when it is most active.

The granite quarries surrounding the area are economically significant and supply materials for construction and industrial purposes, giving the location a distinctive role in craftsmanship. This extraction activity has shaped the landscape and remains a defining feature of the local economy.
