Old pictures of Moratalaz
Nestled in the eastern embrace of Madrid, Moratalaz tells a tale of transformation, blossoming from mere agglomeration of 40 houses in the 1960s into a vibrant district teeming with life. Once a humble location between Vallecas and the iconic Cementerio de la Almudena, it now thrives as a cultural hub, having hosted renowned musicians like Melendi and Alejandro Sanz.
With its history of Moratalaz marked by extraordinary growth, the spacious avenues and lush parks serve not only as a testament to urban ambition but as a cherished escape from city clamor. The memories of wide-open spaces filled with community laughter echo as warmly today as in the legendary paella feast of 2001, where 100,000 people gathered to enjoy the world's largest dish!
