Why Madrid Centro?

Valeria Cimonetti Senior Residential Sales Agent
"How to describe a place that has everything and still doesn't know it? It is my favorite area of Madrid, where the authentic meets tradition and the daring of those who are still young inside, but very wise on the outside. You never get tired of walking its streets, there is always something new to discover. It welcomes you like a tired traveler and wraps you in stories, art and poetry, so that you never forget it and never stop thinking about it".

Natalia Perez Residential Sales Agent
"After the opening of the Four Seasons and the Canalejas Center, a new golden mile has been taking shape that encompasses the entire downtown area of Madrid, with five-star hotels and new branded residences projects, such as SLS Madrid Infantas Residences.
Madrid Centro is, without a doubt, an open-air museum, with palace buildings everywhere that tell stories of centuries past. It is the area with the richest cultural offer of the city, there is always something to do. You can stroll through the streets surrounding the Royal Palace or the Royal Theater, enjoy a visit to the Plaza Mayor with an obligatory stop in San Ginés to taste its famous churros with chocolate. A wine in the Plaza de Santa Ana, or an afternoon at the Thyssen Museum, are just some of the countless plans that this vibrant area has to offer".

Maria Cecilia Romero-Lozada Premium Properties Consultant.
"The center of Madrid is fascinating. There is always something to do. You can start at Puerta del Sol, the real heart of the city, and then take a stroll along Gran Vía, with its stores and theaters reminiscent of Madrid's Broadway, perfect for a good musical! If you are an art lover, the Prado Museum and the Reina Sofia are within walking distance. The streets in the center of the city are a labyrinth of life and color. During the day, this area is full of people shopping, drinking coffee and taking pictures of its impressive buildings. And if you have time, you can also get lost in the neighborhoods of Malasaña or La Latina. The nightlife is very lively, with places for all tastes and atmospheres. For me, the center of Madrid is a place that never ceases to amaze and always invites you to come back.
