The location is, without a doubt, one of the great attractions of this property. Situated in one of the most sought-after areas of Madrid, on one of the most emblematic streets and just a few steps from Retiro. The Salamanca neighborhood is one of the most significant areas of Madrid both for its peculiar layout and for the residents who have traditionally inhabited its iconic 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 Málaga, who conceived a new site with a carefully designed building to house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. Of 19th-century style, it is characterized by its special regular checkerboard layout with perpendicular streets. Its buildings are of special interest due to their architectural quality and the beauty of their facades. Traditionally, Salamanca was a residential area, especially inhabited by the political and economic elites of the country. In the last fifty years, this residential character coexists with other activities such as business, diplomatic, and especially commercial, as it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas of the capital. The Parque del Buen Retiro is the true protagonist of this Madrid neighborhood, flanked by the streets of Alcalá and O'Donell to the north, Doctor Esquerdo Street to the east, the Avenida del Mediterráneo and Paseo de Reina Cristina to the south, and Alfonso XII Street to the west.
