Ortega y Gasset Street

Known as La milla de oro (The Golden Mile) Ortega y Gasset Street is the most exclusive shopping street in Madrid. Armani, Channel, Dior, Dolce & Gabana, Escada, Hermés, Hugo Boss... all the best design companies have their stores there.

If you don't have enough with them you always can go to Serrano street, perpendicular to Ortega y Gasset, or to other streets like Castelló, Goya, Velázquez, Jorge Juan or Príncipe de Vergara, all of them located in the Salamanca district and full themselves of designer stores.

The street is named after Spanish philosopher José Ortega y Gasset (1883-1955).

Calle Serrano

In Calle Serrano you will find one of the most prestigious fashion and accessories' designer brands in the world.

Loewe, the exclusive Spanish brand, offers its exclusive garments and accessories both for women, at number 26, and men, at number 34.  Also, at the corner of Serrano and Ortega y Gasset, you will find Gucci.

Owning a pair of Manolos is a temptation that few women can resist and since Manolo Blahnik, a Spaniard himself, has his own store at number 58 of Calle Serrano singers, actresses, models, aristocrats and millionaires are the crowd of his store.

At Serrano 27, we can find the store of Agatha Ruiz de la Prada, the Madrid-born designer, whose fresh and colourful collections are well known in the whole world. Galicians companies Adolfo Domínguez, Roberto Verino and Caramelo also have outlets on Calle Serrano, at number 18, 33 and 19 respectively.
