Barrio de Salamanca
"This ritzy neighborhood is home to the Milla de Oro, or Golden Mile, which refers to a number of streets filled with the fancy shops of high-end designers, jewelers, etc. If that’s not your scene, when you’ve taken in some of the beautiful architecture of the area, head to Madrid’s most famous park, El Retiro, instead. This immense green space is an oasis of nature in the middle of the city and, as such, attracts many locals visitors. Enjoy a walk among the 15,000 trees, rent a rowing boat for some fun on the artificial lake, and check out the magnificent 1887 Glass Palace and its exotic plants. A visit to Salamanca would not be complete without a visit to the world-class museum El Prado. When hunger strikes, hit Casa Dani, a Spanish restaurant inside El Mercado de la Paz, a large neighborhood market." - MATADOR_NETWORK
