About Madrid

One of Europe's great capitals.

Madrid is one of Europe's great capitals: elegant, sociable and increasingly international. Its historic districts, wide boulevards and leafy residential suburbs offer a very different way of living from the coast, and many of our clients own in both. Salamanca, Chamberí, Retiro and Justicia offer classic city living; El Viso and Chamartín are quieter, while La Moraleja, Pozuelo de Alarcón and Aravaca offer houses, gardens and international schools just outside the centre.

  • Squares and terraces from morning to late.
  • Gran Vía, theatres and the great museums.
  • The Retiro and the city's parks.
  • International schools in the city and the suburbs.
  • A quick train or flight to the coast.
