Renovated apartment 70 meters from El Retiro.

The apartment is located in Recoletos, 70 meters from El Retiro. The Salamanca district is one of the most significant areas of Madrid both for its unique 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 the man from Malaga, José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marqués de Salamanca, who conceived a new location with a carefully planned construction to house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. Of 19th-century style, it is characterized by its special regular grid layout with perpendicular streets. Its buildings have special interest thanks 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, diplomacy, and especially commerce since it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas of the capital. The Buen Retiro Park is the true protagonist of this neighborhood of Madrid, which has its flanks on the Streets of Alcalá and O'Donnell in the northern end, Doctor Esquerdo Street in the east, the Avenida del Mediterráneo and the Paseo de Reina Cristina in the south, and Alfonso XII Street in the western end.
