Town

Pinto is a municipality which became a town in the 1990s and is in the south of the autonomous community of Madrid, central Spain.

Formerly, the belief was that Pinto sat on the geographic middle of the Iberian Peninsula, hence its name comes from the Latin Punctum, "point". It has a monument to this debatable fact..

in 2010, corruption allegations were rife and well reported in the Spanish media to do with the mayor
