TheDry Port of the Community of Madrid [es] is located in Coslada, which has become a major logistics hub in the country. Due to the area's close proximity to theMadrid–Barajas Airport and the Dry Port, the stretch of industrial cities from Madrid to Guadalajara along theA-2 freeway (known as theCorredor del Henares and more recently the "golden mile" of online sales) has, since the 1990s, grown into a logistics hub, similar toEast Midlands in England, with the entire area now boasting 5.7 million m2 of logistics space in total. With investment from foreign funds andsocimis, the logistics sector has grown rapidly thanks to increases in internet shopping. As Coslada runs out of space, other logistics companies have started to move into nearby cities such asMarchamalo,San Fernando de Henares, andTorija.[1]
A large percentage of Coslada's population works at the airport. Most Spanish transportation and shipping companies have branch offices in Coslada; the city is host to 706 logistics companies, the most in the country.El Corte Inglés operates a distribution center in the city, and delivery companyNacex opened a new distribution center in November 2018.[1]
Coslada has 102,890 inhabitants. There are 17,000 foreign-born inhabitants, who represent 12% of the total population. Most are Romanians, though there are also small numbers of Chinese, Latin Americans, Guineans, Vietnamese and Indians.[citation needed]
Coslada is covered and connected to the Madrid metropolitan area by the line (L7) of theMadrid Metro in May 2007, local and regional bus lines, a commuter trains line (C-1,C-2 and C-7) and several major freeways (A-2 (Madrid-Barcelona), M-40,M-45,M-50) and toll highways (R-3).
