Home | Settlement V | Valdemoro
|
The municipality has experienced strong population growth in the past fifteen years, eventually reaching 53,188 inhabitants (INE 2007). Valdemoro's proximity to the capital has favored the demographic and economic development of the area. Due to the recent population boom, Valdemoro has had to construct new transportation, educational, sanitation, health, and entertainment facilities. The municipality's recent history is closely linked to that of the Guardia Civil. Valdemoro is home to the Colegio de Guardias Jóvenes Duque de Ahumada, an academy open only to children and orphans of existing guardsmen. |
