Salamanca : ubicació i entorn d'aquesta propietat

The building is located within the Barrio de Salamanca, in the area of Castellana, the Golden Mile, one of the most prestigious areas of Madrid. Its strategic enclave stands out: near Embassies, on main street and one block from Velázquez Street, the biggest luxury shopping area like Channel, Jimmy Choo, Omega or Louis Vuitton, the best gourmet shops, luxury hotels, exquisite restaurants, prestigious art gallery in Serrano and Velázquez, and a wide range of services that make the residential and commercial area of greater prestige. The infrastructure that the area has is very complete, with several Metro and bus stops. Salamanca district is one of the most noteworthy areas in Madrid, thanks to both its layout and the neighbors that dwell its emblematic streets and avenues. Built in the second half of the 19th century, the borough corresponds to the architectural expansion carried out under Isabell II reign. The district name derives from the forerunner José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marquis of Salamanca, who designed a new location with exquisite buildings that would host aristocrats and the bourgeoisie. With a very characteristic 19th century-style, Salamanca district is characterized by its checker-type distribution and perpendicular avenues. The buildings´ architecture and façades are among some of the most interesting ones in the capital. Salamanca historically acted as the residential area for the politic and economic elite of the country. In the past fifty years, however, this residential character coexists with other activities including business, diplomacy, and, particularly, commercial premises. The area is one of the most important fashion hubs in the capital.
