Salamanca: Location and surroundings of this property

The Salamanca neighborhood is one of the most important areas of Madrid, both for its peculiar distribution and for the neighbors who have traditionally inhabited its emblematic streets. Its construction dates from 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 Malaga-born José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marquis of Salamanca, who conceived a new site with a careful construction that would house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. Of nineteenth-century style, it is characterized by its special regular distribution in the form of a checkerboard with perpendicular streets. Its buildings are of 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, diplomatic and especially commercial, as it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas of the capital.
