“La Victoria” hostel is placed in a location of great natural and landscape value on the Alcudia peninsula, north of Mallorca. The building was designed by the architect Josep Alcover and inaugurated in 1964 by Pilar Primo de Rivera as one of the summer hostels granted by the Francoist dictatorship to the Women’s Section. These camps aimed to educate religious, nationalist girls who were relegated to the care of men and household chores through various activities. This first stage of the hostel ended in 1977 with the dissolution of this branch of the Falange. As property of the Alcudia City Council, it was managed by the Balearic Youth Institute of the Balearic Islands and continued to serveas a youth hostel until its closure in 2019.

El edificio de viviendas para el Marqués de Amurrio fue construido entre 1925 y 1927 por el arquitecto Gustavo Fernández Balbuena, fundador y primer director de la revista Arquitectura en 1918, siendo una de las revistas en activo más antigua de Europa. Por la calidad de su arquitectura y la relevancia del autor, este edificio se encuentra dentro del listado patrimonial de Madrid. Situado en el barrio de Chamberí, la volumetría del conjunto, de patio abierto al exterior, responde a estrategias de higienización que se utilizaron en la época debido al intensivo planeamiento urbano, que daba como resultado patios interiores oscuros y mal ventilados. Como consecuencia de ese urbanismo, las plantas de vivienda acaban siendo largas y con núcleos húmedos recluidos al interior, siempre cerca de la entrada secundaria por donde accedía el personal de servicio.
