Vicálvaro, Residential district in eastern Madrid, Spain
Vicálvaro extends across 32.71 square kilometers and contains four neighborhoods: Casco Histórico, Valderrivas, Valdebernardo, and El Cañaveral.
Archaeological excavations in Vicálvaro revealed a Visigothic necropolis containing 900 tombs, along with Neolithic settlements dating back more than 7,000 years.
The district maintains numerous educational facilities, including primary schools, secondary institutions, and vocational training centers serving its 70,051 residents.
Transportation infrastructure includes multiple metro stations on Line 9, featuring color-coded walls for easy navigation, and regular bus services connecting to central Madrid.
