About Salamanca
Madrid's classic prime address.
Salamanca is Madrid's classic prime district: wide, orderly streets, elegant period buildings, the city's finest shopping and some of its best restaurants, with the Retiro park on its doorstep. Buyers here are looking for a grand apartment at a central, prestigious address, often in a classic building with high ceilings and balconies.
- Terraces and restaurants on quiet streets.
- Serrano and the city's finest shopping.
- The Retiro at the end of the street.
- Galleries and the great museums close by.
- Classic buildings with balconies and high ceilings.
Why invest in Salamanca
The grand apartment
Classic buildings with high ceilings, tall windows and balconies define the district, and they are rarely replaced.
Shops and restaurants on foot
Serrano, Ortega y Gasset and the streets around them hold the city's finest shopping and dining.
Central and green
The Retiro, the Paseo de la Castellana and the museums are all a short walk away.
Life in Salamanca
Shopping on Serrano, lunch on a terrace, a walk in the Retiro.
