Butarque

Butarque lies along the Arroyo Butarque in the Community of Madrid, and this watercourse has given its name to a part of the capital’s southern metropolitan belt. Flowing northeast toward the Manzanares, the stream crosses a low, heavily urbanised plain beyond central Madrid’s grand avenues. Butarque is closely associated with nearby Leganés, whose patron is the Virgen de Butarque; her feast is marked there on 15 August. The area shows how long-standing local place names and religious traditions have persisted amid Madrid’s outward growth.
