Superb property on Madrid's most fashionable street

Recoletos is the prime area of the Salamanca district, the closest area to El Retiro, and specifically, this residence is just steps away from the largest and most representative park in Madrid. The Salamanca district is one of the most important areas of Madrid, both for its unique layout and for the residents who have traditionally lived on 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 the Malagueño José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marquess of Salamanca, who conceived a new location with carefully planned buildings to house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. Of 19th-century style, it is characterized by its distinctive regular grid layout with perpendicular streets. Its buildings are of particular interest due to their architectural quality and the beauty of their facades. Traditionally, Salamanca was a residential area, 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 activities, as it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas in the capital. The Buen Retiro Park is the true protagonist of this Madrid neighborhood, which is bordered by the Calles de Alcalá and O'Donnell to the north, Calle Doctor Esquerdo to the east, Avenida del Mediterráneo and Paseo de Reina Cristina to the south, and Calle Alfonso XII to the west.
