Salamanca: Location and surroundings of this property

The Salamanca district is one of the most important areas of Madrid, both for its peculiar distribution and for the residents 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 its name is owed was José de Salamanca y Mayol, Marqués de Salamanca, from Malaga, who conceived a new location with a careful building that would house the aristocratic and bourgeois classes of Madrid. Nineteenth-century in 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 an area for residential use, 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 since it is one of the most important luxury fashion areas of the capital. The Buen Retiro Park, an authentic space for family leisure in a green setting, is just a few minutes' walk away. For its part, Goya is the neighborhood with the most services in the district, enjoying all kinds of shops, restaurants, markets, leisure and sports facilities, providing the area with the highest quality of life.
