Elegant luxury apartment in Recoletos across from El Retiro

The location is, without a doubt, one of the major attractions of this property. Situated in one of the most sought-after areas of Madrid. 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 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, the Marquess of Salamanca from Málaga, who conceived a new site with carefully crafted buildings to house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. Of 19th-century style, it is characterized by its 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 since it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas in the capital. The Buen Retiro Park is the true protagonist of this neighborhood of Madrid, which is bordered by Alcalá and O'Donnell Streets to the north, Doctor Esquerdo Street to the east, the Mediterranean Avenue and Reina Cristina Promenade to the south, and Alfonso XII Street to the west.
