Colonia de los Ángeles / Somosaguas is a residential area located in Pozuelo, northwest of Madrid, approximately 10 km from Puerta del Sol, with the highest average income in Spain. It occupies a former estate belonging to 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 customary residence for aristocrats and famous personalities.
Located in a quiet, well-connected residential area, the property is set in a privileged environment, particularly valued by families for its proximity to Casa de Campo, where various outdoor sports can be practiced, and to some of the area’s most prestigious schools, such as Retamar School, Monte Tabor Schoenstatt School and the renowned The British Council School. In addition, the modern international residence The Student Experience is located nearby and offers comprehensive facilities for university students. Just a few minutes away is also the Somosaguas Campus of the Complutense University of Madrid, home to the faculties of Psychology, Economics and Business Administration, Social Work, Sociology and Political Science, making the area a strategic location for both families and the academic community.
Prado de Somosaguas is home to the RTVE building and the Somosaguas golf course. The municipality contains the exclusive private development “La Finca,” considered the safest and most inaccessible in Europe, which lends its name to the modern, cosmopolitan La Finca Business Park, headquarters of major companies including Microsoft, Orange and Accenture, among others.
It is located in a privileged area of the Community of Madrid, close 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 Paseo de la Castellana and the university area. It offers high-level sports facilities, including Valle de las Cañas Sports Center, Reebok Sport Place and Pozuelo SportsClub.
Currently, La Colonia de los Ángeles, Prado, La Finca and Somosaguas Centro constitute a single neighborhood stretching from Ciudad de la Imagen and La Finca to Húmera, with Casa de Campo as its geographical boundary.
