Local life and landmarks

The council describes Las Margaritas through its squares and university setting, Juan de la Cierva through shopping avenues and facilities, and Centro through its historic core and pedestrian streets. Use those differences to think about your week, not to assign exact boundaries to each entrance.

Planning your journeys

UC3M locates its Getafe campus at Calle Madrid, 126 and identifies suburban rail and Metro access. Confirm your faculty: Getafe, Leganés and Puerta de Toledo are separate campuses. For travel to Madrid, compare the entire route from each home, not just a station.
