		Although the province has existed since 1833, the Community of Madrid was institutionalized in 1983, after a prolific amount of debate, in which the two Castles, the Castilla la Mancha and Castilla-Leon, seemed to reject the inclusion of Spain's capital in their communities.
		The Province of Madrid occupies a surface area of approximately 8,028 km2, which is 1.6% of all Spanish territory.
		It seems that Madrid's geographic limits turn out to be those of nature: on the western side the "Central System", the Sierra de Guadarrama mountains, the south represents the desire to include the Royal Site of Aranjuez and finally the eastern edge of the triangle comes from the rupture of the fluvial river basins.
