Bright chalet in Los Angeles Colony

Colonia de los Ángeles / Somosaguas is a residential area located in Pozuelo, northwest of Madrid, about 10 km from Puerta del Sol, and with the highest average income in Spain. It occupies a former estate of the Marquis of Urquijo, which in the 17th century belonged to the Marquis of Larios and was acquired by an investment group that included Juan Lladó (president of Banco Urquijo). It is a common place of residence for aristocrats and famous personalities. Located in a quiet, well-connected residential area, the property is set in a privileged environment, especially valued by families for its proximity to Casa de Campo for outdoor sports and to some of the area’s most prestigious educational centers, such as Retamar School, Monte Tabor Schoenstatt School, and the renowned The British Council School. In addition, nearby is the modern international residence The Student Experience, which offers comprehensive facilities for university students. A few minutes away is also the Somosaguas Campus of the Complutense University of Madrid, home to the faculties of Psychology, Economics and Business, Social Work, Sociology, and Political Science, making the area a strategic enclave for both families and the academic sphere. In Prado de Somosaguas are the RTVE building and the Somosaguas golf course. The municipality is home to the exclusive private residential development “La Finca,” considered the safest and most inaccessible in Europe, which gives its name to the modern, cosmopolitan La Finca Business Park, headquarters of some of the leading companies such as Microsoft, Orange, and Accenture, among others. It is located in a privileged area of the Community of Madrid, due to its proximity to the capital, just 6 km from centers of power such as the Moncloa Palace and the Zarzuela Palace, and with easy access to the AZCA financial district on the Paseo de la Castellana and the university area. It has top-level sports facilities such as Valle de las Cañas Sports Center, Rebook Sport Place, and Pozuelo SportsClub. At present, La Colonia de los Ángeles, Prado, La Finca, and Somosaguas Centro constitute a single neighborhood that stretches from Ciudad de la Imagen and La Finca to Húmera, with its geographic boundary being Casa de Campo.
