Aravaca

It is 9 kilometres (5.6 mi) from the city centre, on the other side of Casa de Campo park.

Dating from this years are the parish church and some houses in Baja de la Iglesia street, all designed in the old Castilian style.

During the long Spanish postwar period (1940-1959), millions of Spaniards left their homes in the poor provinces to migrate to industrial areas such as Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia and the Basque Country.

From 1990, thanks to new urban plans, the population of Aravaca has doubled and the streets are now connected with the neighbouring town of Pozuelo de Alarcón.

The public transport network is efficient with buses every 10 minutes to the centre, a railway station and a Metro line.
