Vega de Infanzones is a municipality in the Esla-Campos comarca, in León, with about 835 inhabitants, which brings together, alongside the eponymous town, the settlements of Grulleros and Villadesoto. It sits at 780 metres above sea level over the Bernesga dam, which empties its waters into the river of the same name. It once belonged to the old Hermandad de Vega con Ardón, and had 350 inhabitants in the mid-19th century. It is crossed by the LE-5518 road, linking Ardón with León, and the LE-6611, connecting it to the road between Mansilla de las Mulas and Villanueva del Campo.
