📖

Full description

Salamanca is a planned 19th-century extension of Madrid, laid out on a regular grid of wide streets lined with elegant apartment buildings. It is known for high-end shopping along Calle de Serrano and Calle de Ortega y Gasset, as well as for polished restaurants, tapas bars and pastry shops.

The mood is affluent and stylish, with well-dressed locals and a steady rhythm of window-shopping and terrace lunches. It rewards a slow wander more than a list of sights, and fits well with a visit to nearby Retiro Park on the same outing.
