The 1847 Battle o Padierna (aka Battle o Contreras) wis focht here. Mony fowk believe that is why the burgh is namit "La Magdalena Contreras." It is believit tae be a vera poor burgh an aw. The fowk thare hae up tae aboot 18 square feet o green space an anerlie aboot 55% keep gaun tae schuil efter the age o 15. The raison vera few bairns gang tae schuil efter the age o 15 is they uisually stey hame an help their parents wi ony hoosehauld wirk that is needit. This is a guid insaumple o spatial inequality.
The lawer elevations up tae 2,900 m hae a mild climate wi a median temperatur aroond 15.5°C (60°F) an heich rainfaw averagin 959mm (37.7 inches) annually. Heicher regions, for instance Los Dinamos Naitional Pairk, covered wi pine-aik forests, atween 2,900 an 3,500 metre is ceuler an wetter, averagin near 13°C (55°F) an rainfaw (whilk in rare winter weet days micht fa as snaw) reaches abuin 1,100mm (45in). At even heicher elevations (aroond 3,700 meters) the wather is geylies constantly cauld, averagin anerlie 8°C (46°F) an the greatest rainfaw o the burgh. The follaein chairt explicates the climate o Presa Anzaldo in the urbanisit region o Magdalena Contreras, the lawest an wairmest o it. The chairt belaw is illustrative o the ceuler heicher portions, in this insaumple at Monte Alegre.
