Next to the Retiro Park, in one of the most emblematic streets of the city, in the Prime area par excellence of the capital. The Salamanca neighborhood is one of the most relevant 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 country's political and economic elites. 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. The Parque del Buen Retiro is the real protagonist of this neighborhood of Madrid that has its flanks in the Calles de Alcalá and O'Donnell in the north end, Doctor Esquerdo Street in the east, the Avenida del Mediterráneo and Paseo de Reina Cristina in the south and Alfonso XII Street in the west end.
