Leganés

Leganés has served as an agricultural settlement on Madrid’s southern plain since the Middle Ages. Today it is a substantial city within the Madrid metropolitan area, set on inland terrain in the Manzanares river basin. Cucumber cultivation earned its residents the enduring nickname pepineros, an identity still used by the city and its football club. The historic centre includes the Church of San Salvador, while the Leganés campus of Universidad Carlos III de Madrid brings a university presence to the municipality. Cercanías rail and MetroSur place it firmly in the everyday urban network south of the capital.
