Fuenlabrada

Built around the fountain that gave it its name, Fuenlabrada grew from a small farming settlement into one of the largest municipalities in Madrid’s southern metropolitan belt. It lies on the broad Meseta Central, southwest of the Spanish capital, where former open farmland has given way to dense neighbourhoods, business areas and rail-linked commuting. The Universidad Rey Juan Carlos has a campus here, while the Cobo Calleja industrial estate is an important centre for wholesale trade. September festivities honour the Cristo de las Lluvias.
