The Salamanca district, built at the Salamanca Marquis´s order at the end of the XIXth century and on which he consumed most of his fortune, is the prototype of urban development, an aristocratic neighborhood with large avenues that drive traffic to the many shops and luxury brands available, as well as imposing palaces - the Sevillan writer Gustavo Adolfo Bécquer lived in one of them.
A walk within the streets of this exclusive neighborhood offers a pleasant sensation of entering an exclusive aristocratic world. Brands such as Loewe, Lubaloo, Prada, Valentino, Miu Miu, Cartier and many others delight the most wealthy residents of this neighborhood called the Golden Mile. The maximum indicator of luxurious gastronomy is the Platea City Mall, full with restaurants such as Ramón Freixa or Sinergias, and which resulted from the union of three Spanish chefs. They attract visitors with innovative recipes and enviable sweets of Mamá Framboise, among others. For all those who love traditional food, the Salamanca district is the best place to enjoy the most exquisite tapas of Madrid. The Casa Dani restaurant, located in the Mercado de la Paz, Qué tapas, in the Mercado de Torrijos or the Santa Barbará brewery offer the opportunity to taste octopus, Iberic ham, torrtilla or patatas bravas. After all, this is a neighborhood that very much resemble the wonderful Paris that identifies with luxury and glamour.
