Barrio de Salamanca: why it is still the most sought-after address in Madrid
High ceilings, staffed entrance halls and everything on foot. What buyers look for in the area and what to check.
By Luis CasanovasFounder
The nineteenth-century grid, the stone and brick façades and a neighbourhood life that has not been lost. Salamanca combines what many international buyers look for in Madrid: centrality, safety and buildings with character.
What is most requested
Apartments with original mouldings and floors, facing quiet streets and, increasingly, with a terrace. Penthouses with terraces are scarce and sell quickly.

What to check
The state of the building, any planned levies, whether it is listed and what that listing allows in a renovation. Simple questions that save months.
