Barrio Palacio – Where Aktual, the artisanal jewelry workshop that inspires stories, was born

📍 Calle Fomento 6, Madrid – Steps from the Royal Theatre, the Senate and the Royal Palace

Nestled among the oldest and most beautiful streets of Madrid, surrounded by history, art and charm, Aktual was born, this beautiful artisan jewelry workshop .
A space where silver, brass and semi-precious stones come to life in handmade jewelry, transforming into unique pieces full of meaning.

✨ This corner of the Palacio neighborhood not only inspires those who visit it… it has also inspired fiction.
Scenes from the series La Encrucijada (Antena 3 and Disney) were filmed here, where Amanda , the protagonist, is a handcrafted jeweler and works precisely in this workshop.
A beautiful reflection of what happens every day in this space: passion, creativity and the love for handmade things.

If you come to visit, enjoy the neighborhood at your leisure:

🏛️ The Spanish Senate , just a few meters away, is one of the most visited buildings for its history and architecture.
👑 Stroll through the Plaza de Oriente and admire the Royal Palace , one of Madrid's most emblematic landmarks.
🍲 And if you get hungry, you can't miss trying the famous traditional Madrid stew from Restaurante La Bola , with more than 150 years of history and awarded as one of the best stews in Spain.

💍 At Aktual , in addition to finding handmade jewelry with soul, you can also participate in artisan jewelry courses and experience creating your own piece.

📸 Come and visit the workshop where this story began.
Between the history of the Palace District and the sparkle of the jewels, you will discover a space where art and life intertwine… just like in the series.
