Recoletos

Recoletos Castellana Goya Lista Guindalera Fuente del Berro

Recoletos is Spain's most coveted address. Bounded by Paseo de Recoletos, Serrano and Goya, it concentrates the stateliest buildings of the 19th-century Ensanche: stone façades, marble entrance halls, ceilings over three metres high and large-format apartments that rarely reach the market.

The Golden Mile starts here: Serrano and Ortega y Gasset gather the great international luxury houses, while Calle Jorge Juan has become Madrid's most desirable gastronomic and lifestyle axis. Claudio Coello and Villanueva offer select boutique shopping on a neighbourhood scale.

Puerta de Alcalá, Retiro Park a step away, the National Library and the classic cafés of Paseo de Recoletos complete a setting that combines prestige, culture and everyday life at the highest level.
