Why Almagro-Chamberí?
Alejandro Cendrero Senior Residential Sales Agent
"Chamberí -and its Almagro area in particular- is one of the most elegant and cultural neighborhoods in Madrid, ideal for those of us who enjoy an urban lifestyle with a classic touch. Its streets, full of history and surrounded by stately buildings, are perfect for strolling and admiring facades as impressive as those of the Colegio de Ingenieros de Caminos or the elegant Calle Fortuny, which always manage to capture my attention. What I like most about Almagro is the cultural and leisure offer it has. Whether it's a morning at the Sorolla Museum, a visit to the Mapfre Foundation to see its art exhibitions or a performance at the Amaya Theater on Saturday afternoons, there is always something interesting to do. And, of course, to unwind, you can't miss a stop at Toma Café or the classic Café Comercial. Without a doubt, Chamberí and Almagro represent the perfect balance between culture and sophistication".
Natalia Perez Residential Sales Agent
"In the last five years, the Chamberí area, with a very Madrilenian neighborhood, has experienced an impressive boom and an increasingly predominant international public demanding a home here. The Almagro area, in particular, has become a reference point: its charm is enhanced by iconic hotels such as Santo Mauro, renowned restaurants such as Coque and La Parra, and the convenience of having everything nearby - pharmacies, supermarkets, schools... -. This neighborhood is, without a doubt, a true treasure of Madrid".
Armida Ortiz Premium Properties Consultant
"Almagro is still one of the most elegant and stately neighborhoods of Madrid. It is a pleasure to walk through its streets with its wonderful buildings with imposing classical facades and its great variety of palaces such as the Palacio de Bermejillo, the Palace of Eduardo Adcoch, the Casa de Garay, or the Palacio de Zurbano.
It is still a neighborhood for locals, although international Latinos are discovering it and are starting to set their eyes on it. Having a glass of champagne on the terrace of the Hotel Santo Mauro is almost mandatory or eating at one of its impressive restaurants like Coque or Saddle.
For me it is the ideal neighborhood to live in: it is not overcrowded and its location is simply unbeatable".
