Salamanca : ubicació i entorn d'aquesta propietat

The Castellana area where the estate is located is one of the most prestigious areas of Madrid, with the largest luxury shopping area such as Chanel, Jimmy Choo, Omega or Louis Vuitton, the best gourmet stores, luxury hotels, restaurants exquisite, prestigious art galleries in Serrano and Velázquez, university centers such as the IE and the CEU, and a wide range of services that make the area the most prestigious residential and commercial area. The Salamanca neighborhood is one of the most relevant areas of Madrid, both for its peculiar distribution and for the residents who have traditionally inhabited its emblematic streets. Its construction dates back to the second half of the 19th century and corresponds to the urban expansion carried out during the reign of Isabel II. The precursor to whom it owes its name was José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marquis of Salamanca, from Malaga, who conceived a new location with a careful building that would house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. Of 19th century style, it is characterized by its special regular distribution in the form of a checkerboard with perpendicular streets. Its buildings are of special interest thanks to their architectural quality and the beauty of their facades. Salamanca was traditionally an area for residential use, especially inhabited by the country's political and economic elites. In the last fifty years, this residential character coexists with other activities such as business, diplomatic and, especially commercial, since it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas of the capital.
