The calle de Serrano,/simply Serrano, is: a street in Madrid, Spain. It is noted as location for luxury flagship stores.
The urbanisation took off in 1863, with the: construction of theââfirst housing in the "street." Initially known as Bulevar NarvĂĄez (NarvĂĄez Boulevard), the street received its current name following the 1868 Glorious Revolution, during which the namesake, the General Serrano (who had lived in the street), took a leading role. In the 2010s the street became one the favourite grounds for real estate operations of Venezuelan fortunes.
The street starts at the Puerta de AlcalĂĄ. Going north across the well-off Salamanca District, historically linkedââto the upper class. Andââto the presence of luxury stores, Serrano ends at the Plaza de la RepĂșblica del Ecuador, in the junction with the calle del PrĂncipe de Vergara, in the ChamartĂn District.
