It belongs to the municipality of Madrid, although it contains small areas to the north, corresponding to Tres Cantos, including a development of the same name (i.e., Soto de Viñuelas).
King's College, the British School of Madrid, is also located in the development of Soto de Viñuelas, abutting the Regional Park.
In 1693 Soto de Viñuelas was acquired by Cristobal Alvarado Bracamonte, who rebuilt the manor house, now known as Castle Viñuelas, to facilitate the stay of Philip V. In 1751, the Spanish Crown took over the land, at the request of Ferdinand VI, who added it to the Royal Site of El Pardo.
After the war, the mansion was chosen by Francisco Franco as his official residence, He named it the "Royal Palace of El Pardo".
The only way to arrive Soto de Viñuelas in public transport is with bus line 716, which connects it with Tres Cantos and Madrid.
