Salamanca : ubicació i entorn d'aquesta propietat

The Castellana area where the property is located is one of the most prestigious areas of Madrid, with the largest luxury shopping area such as Channel, Jimmy Choo, Omega or Louis Vuitton, the best gourmet shops, luxury hotels, exquisite restaurants, prestigious art galleries in Serrano and Velázquez, university centres such as IE and CEU, and a wide range of services that make the area a residential and commercial area of the highest prestige. 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.
