Canillejas
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Canillejas is a suburb of Madrid, lying to the east of the city. It is located in San Blas district which formerly composed the old town of Canillejas that was annexed to Madrid in 1949. [1] The Fiestas de Canillejas takes place from the 1 to 7 of September. Cannillejas is one of the last stations on the number 5 line of the Madrid Metro.
Canillejas is a nice middle class town near the Barajas Airport. It has grown expansively in the last two decades. It was the last suburb before hitting the Campos (country side), but has since been flanked by new growth. Its main street becomes the Calle De Acala and will take you past many of Madrid's landmarks as you head towards center city including the Rastro, the Bull Ring and eventually towards Retiro Park.
