The Golden Mile

A shopping spree in the Salamanca neighborhood is the privilege of a fortunate few, ideal for those looking to give themselves a truly special treat. Even if you have no intention of buying, it is well worth visiting Serrano to look, compare, learn, enjoy, or even to envy. The most luxurious boutiques are found in the streets such as Serrano, Castelló, Goya, Velázquez, Jorge Juan, Príncipe de Vergara and Ortega y Gasset.

Some of the most prestigious international brand names can be found from Versace, with their usual sexy touch, to the exclusive outlet of Hermès, with all the refinement and simplicity associated with the name. Right up the street from Dolce & Gabbana, you'll find the Chanel boutique, where you can admire Karl Lagerfeld's "works of art," then wander to Louis Vuitton for a luggage set. Need some shoes? No worries with boutiques from Manolo and Jimmy Choo you are sure to have your pick.
