Los Cerros, Residential development in Vicálvaro district, Madrid, Spain
Los Cerros is a large residential development in Vicálvaro that contains thousands of homes spread across gently rolling terrain. The buildings are organized around green spaces, parks, and a newly created lake that forms the center of the area.
The area has long connections to Madrid through small hills that were once part of the city's defensive network. The land was transformed from farmland into a modern residential district in recent decades.
The development introduces a new residential concept that combines urban living with environmental preservation through designated green zones and recreational spaces.
The area sits along major roads M-45, M-50, and R-3, making it easy to reach central Madrid by car. Walking paths and parks within the development are accessible on foot, though reaching distant parts of the city requires a vehicle.
The area includes the Cerro de la Herradura, a natural hill that has shaped Madrid's landscape for centuries. This protected hill and the surrounding valley were deliberately preserved and integrated into the site plan.
