Navalcarnero

A council born in 1499

According to the Town Council, Navalcarnero was founded on 10 October 1499 with the appointment of its first council, made up of six residents who until then belonged to Perales; a royal provision of 19 September that year had already ordered Segovia to appoint the municipal offices. In 1627, after the jurisdiction was sold in 1626, the royal judge Juan Remón Téllez handed the place to its residents and the first election of municipal officers was held: Navalcarnero broke away from Segovia and came to be called a villa.

A royal town because of a wedding

On 4 June 1651 Philip IV granted Navalcarnero the privilege of "villa real" in gratitude for hosting the royal velaciones of Philip IV and Mariana of Austria, held in 1649.

Judicial seat and railway

In 1834 it became the seat of a judicial district, with a court of first instance, and on 26 December 1891 the Madrid–Navalcarnero railway line opened. On 21 October 1936 Lieutenant Colonel Carlos Asensio Cabanillas entered the town in command of the nationalist troops.

Data and statistics

Navalcarnero is a municipality in the Community of Madrid. According to the Community of Madrid's statistical tables, it covers 100.91 km² and lies 36.6 km by road from the capital. The INE's official population figures give 33,331 registered inhabitants for 2025.

In July 2026, the median price of completed sales in the municipality of Navalcarnero was €2,120/m². Since January (€2,150/m²), the figure rose in 3 months and fell in 3 of the 6 that can be compared: the path is uneven.

Among the 2026 figures published, the highest is April (€2,348/m²) and the lowest, June (€1,948/m²).

The report publishes a year-on-year change of +16.2% and a year-to-date change of -1.4%, with €1,824/m² in July 2025 as the prior-year starting point. They compare medians of different transactions in each period, not the change in value of the same home.

For reference, the July figure is below the one published for the province as a whole (€3,618/m²). These are medians for each area, not averages of the areas they contain.

This guide describes the figure for the area, not an individual home: valuing a property requires comparing similar homes. The report does not say how many transactions underlie each territorial median.
