Arganda del Rey is a town with history, much of it very sad, most recently it having been slap-bang on the front line in the protracted and very destructive Battle of the Jarama in the Spanish Civil War. It is also set in the Parque Regional del Sudeste nature reserve of Madrid and you would think that the combination of the two factors would make it an interesting place. Wrong. There is very little to see and it almost totally lacks atmosphere, except for a small bar I once found there which had Spanish Civil War weapons hanging on the wall - a bayonet, a bazooka, and so on. At least, I was convinced they were Civil War weapons - the solitary barman was unable to give me any information. In any case, for the purposes of this little section, it is the centre of one of the three sub-zones making up the Vinos de Madrid "designation of origiin" (as TourSpain has taken to translating denominación de origen. The lnik goes to Arganda del Rey's municipal web site.
