Las Rozas de Madrid (Spanish:, or simply, Las Rozas) is a municipality in the autonomous community of Madrid, Spain, with an area of 59 km² (22¾ sq. mi.).
The municipality is served by three Renfe railway stations– Las Rozas, Pinar de Las Rozas and Las Matas. Additional stops at Peñascales and El Tejar were closed. The municipality shares borders with Torrelodones to the north, Villanueva del Pardillo and Galapagar to the west, the park of Monte del Pardo in the east and Majadahonda (south).
Las Rozas has one of the highest average per capita incomes in the Madrid region, and it has become a right-wing stronghold.
During the final decades of the 20th century the town has experienced a vigorous building program, mostly as a dormitory town for Madrid, with a correspondingly strong population growth, which more than doubled between 1991 and 2005 (from 35,137 to 76,246 inhabitants).
The provisioning for local services (such as schools and new dwellings) has at times been outpaced by the locality's high birth and immigration rates. However, by 2010 the community was well served in all health, education and social sectors.
