Although our boutique is situated on the exclusive calle Claudio Coello, if you wander around the old part of Madrid, we invite you to visit our showroom on the beautiful Plaza de La Encarnación. Nearby there are some very special buildings, restaurants and shops, that we would like to recommend to you.
In terms of historical monuments, the Palacio Real (the Royal Palace), which has a museum housing all the royal collections, is well worth a visit. A few minutes away you can also find the Senate and the Royal Theatre, where the Spanish National Opera is based. They are all impressive buildings with a historical past. And lastly, you should absolutely visit the Convent of las Descalzas Reales, where only women from the upper nobility who paid a correspondingly high endowment were admitted.
