Parla
Parla (Spanish pronunciation: [ˈpaɾ.la]) is a municipality in the Community of Madrid, Spain. Part of the Madrid metropolitan area, it is located in the southern part of the region.
The municipality of Parla covers an area of 24.43 km2.
The municipality largely features a monotonous flat relief. The Cerro de La Cantueña (the municipality's highest point at 684 m), the cerro del Pico (654 m), and the cerro de los Cantos (635 m) are the only noteworthy hills.
Housing is sandwiched west, south and east respectively by the A-42, by the Arroyo Guatén watercourse, and by the R-4 and the high-speed railways from Madrid to Levante and to Seville. The non-urbanised north of the municipality, featuring the Cerro de la Cantueña hill, borders with the industrial estate of Cobo Calleja in Fuenlabrada.
It borders six municipalities of the community of Madrid: Fuenlabrada to the North; Torrejón de Velasco and Torrejón de la Calzada to the South; Pinto to the East; and Griñón and Humanes de Madrid to the West.
Its elevation is 648.5 meters above sea level.
The Cerro de la Cantueña attests occupation of the territory in the Lower Paleolithic. The Cerro de la Iglesia site, in Humanejos, also features a prehistoric chronology.
Presumably settled by Madrid's council militias, Parla (similarly as neighbouring Humanejos) was a hamlet attached to the sexmo of Villaverde, part of the land of Madrid, in the middle ages prior to its segregation into a seigneurial lordship. On a privilege issued on 6 January 1338, the monarchy ceded control of the hamlet of "Parlas" to the cardinal Pedro Barroso as a payment for services rendered. This document was later affirmed in 1351. In such, the settlement was a lordship up until the 19th century. Humanejos fully depopulated by the late 17th century.
