Located at Plaza del Marqués del Salamanca 5, on the corner of Salamanca and Calle de Ortega y Gasset, A&F Madrid is among the most luxurious of Abercrombie & Fitch locations. It joins A&F London on Savile Row, A&F Ginza in Tokyo, and A&F Paris on Avenue des Champs-Élysées as the most architecturally noteworthy locations. But, honestly, A&F Madrid is probably the most luxurious of them all! Housed within the opulent Palacio Aguas de Sevilla (English: Palace Waters of Seville), Abercrombie & Fitch in Madrid is where high-class meets Casual Luxury!
Plans for an opening in Madrid began in 2007 after the opening of A&F London. Four years of negotiations and structural renovations went into the realization of Abercrombie & Fitch in Madrid. Madrid - the capital of Spain and its most populous urban center - is another world city worthy of A&F's key international locations. Only the Palacio Aquas de Sevilla on Plaza del Marqués de Salamanca 5 fit the requirements as a perfect showcase for the Abercrombie & Fitch brand. Of course, anticipation built up over the months for the opening! Within early 2011, it was confirmed that A&F would open shop in Spain. The opening date leaked in August and was unofficially confirmed by media sources by October. Abercrombie & Fitch made the opening date official on October 28 by rolling out 101 models to promote the opening and set Madrid on fire!
November 3 went down as another awesome flagship opening! The lights are on, the FIERCE spraying has begun, and the music blasting has ensued!!! Abercrombie is in Spain to do its dance - club-esque vibe included! People, Abercrombie & Fitch is now partying it up in Madrid!!! Hundreds upon hundreds of people lined up outside the doors A&F Madrid and were well received by among the ultimate of Abercrombie & Fitch! Breathtaking in presentation, A&F Madrid offers 14,000 square feet of the A&F Flagship experience! It's totally amazing!!!
