Fuente del Berro is the Salamanca district's best-kept secret. Its jewel is the Quinta de Fuente del Berro, a romantic 17th-century park with a small palace, ponds and free-roaming peacocks, one of Madrid's most singular corners.
Next to the park survives the Fuente del Berro colony, a protected ensemble of early 20th-century villas offering something almost impossible in central Madrid: single-family homes with gardens inside the Salamanca district.
The rest of the neighbourhood combines classic Ensanche buildings with modern construction near the M-30, at gentler prices than the district core, with O'Donnell, Goya and Las Ventas as immediate references.
