AZCA<\/strong> is known as Madrid\u2019s financial centre, and this is where you will see some of most important buildings and skyscrapers in Madrid. This area is a great combination of professional opportunities and business activities.<\/p>\nRestaurants and cafeterias, fashion stores, accessory shops, and shopping centres; you will find it all in this zone.<\/p>\n
The AZCA Complex, which is located north of the city, is a commercial zone and therefore a financial and economic business hub. It is in between Paseo de la Castellana<\/strong> and Calle de<\/strong> Orense<\/strong>, Calle de Raimundo Fern\u00e1ndez Villaverde<\/strong> and Calle General Per\u00f3n<\/strong>.<\/p>\nInspired by the Rockefeller Center in New York, architect Antonio Perpi\u00f1\u00e1 developed this whole area in Madrid In 1957, and his designs were approved in 1964.<\/p>\n
When constructions began, AZCA was actually on the outskirts<\/strong> of the city. Some of the skyscrapers that really stand out now are the Torre Picasso, Torre Europa and the current headquarters of the BBVA.<\/p>\nIs there another urban neighbourhood in Madrid you can recommend?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
