The Salamanca district, ordered to be constructed by the Marquis of Salamanca at the end of the 19th century and where he spent practically all his fortune, is the prototype of urban expansion, a garden city, an aristocratic neighborhood with large avenues around which luxury shops and stores, and grand palaces are articulated. Walking through the streets of this exclusive neighborhood gives the sensation of entering a world destined exclusively for the aristocracy. Brands like Loewe, Lubaloo, a leader in children's fashion, Prada, Valentino, Miu Miu, Cartier, and many others that delight the most fortunate wallets meet in the Golden Mile. The ultimate expression of luxury, in terms of dining, corresponds to the recently inaugurated Platea Leisure Center, a unique space with restaurants like those of Ramón Freixa or Sinergias, born from the union of three of the best Spanish chefs and the most coveted sweets from Mamá Fambroise, among many other delights. For anyone coming from outside and being a lover of traditional food, the Salamanca district is the best place to enjoy the most exquisite tapas in Madrid. The Casa Dani restaurant-brewery, in the Mercado de la Paz, Qué tapas, in the Mercado de Torrijos, or the Cervecería Santa Bárbara, are some examples where you can taste delicious servings of octopus, serrano ham, tortilla, or patatas bravas. The surroundings of the building are the most exclusive in Madrid, Serrano Street, Independence Square, and the boulevards of Paseo de Recoletos, with the best restaurants in the capital and the Buen Retiro Park a step away to enjoy the most charming green area in Madrid.
