Latest Madrid hotel reviews
With a delightful young lady running the show, this place is packed full of an energetic and colourful vintage fashion selection, catering for all tastes - men and women alike. Also you will find several special pieces which have been revamped with a special tailoring touch, and if you're really lucky you might just happen to pop in when there's a DJ spinning some tunes too!
Much more than just a shopping trip, this is an afternoon fun dressing up experience, and you'll find it hard to leave without something in your bag!
What to pay: Expect to pay anything between very little and not a lot... unless of course you're going to fill your bags of new goodies, which is of course very likely ;)

The Malasania is another quarter in Madrid which is also known for its trendsetting unconventional panorama and located around the Plaza Dos De Mayo.
I think it is a must while in Spain, don't miss the colorful quarter, this quarter is full of bars and clubs during night time, but at day time it has great stores to shop at.

This neighbourhood, or barrio, is right in the centre of Madrid, just off Gran Vía. You can get there easily by Metro (Line 5, Chueca Metro station or simply walking from Gran Vía)
bars, coffee-houses, restaurants, design shops, clubs are also part of this colorful barrio.

Ok , the prices are far from being normal, and at the same price of shoes you can fly and stay for over 2 or 3 weeks in Madrid.
Me myself, I never shopped there, but I went in and out with a big "I Wish" .
So its beautiful, and stylish, and for whomever like to torture himself by doing "eye shopping" only its probably a perfect place :)

In Calle de Serrano, waiting for you one of the most famous fashion store of the original designer Agatha Ruiz de la Prada.
I loved her fashion and work, the use of unlimited range of colors, and the feeling that sometimes I wanted to but it all .

Madrid is divided to quarters (barrios, in Spanish), the magic of each one of them is something that can be discovered only by visit them, walking there, eating, drinking, going to places, and shopping.
The LOS AUSTRIAS, SOL & CENTRO zone , with the famous Puerta del Sol, is a nice place to shop there.
At the center of this area, it is typical to find mostly some tourist souvenir, but try the calle de preciados - its one of the best street to shop at.

There´re many interesting fashion shops for both men & women that are not so obvious for tourists. For young and trendy fashion Fuencarral street (accesible by Gran Via and Tribunal metro stations) is your best bet. It has all the usual young brands (Lee, Billabong...) plus a lot of smaller shops, specially in Mercado de Fuencarral, which is half way between Gran Via and Tribunal stations. There´re also some interesting shops in Espiritu Santo street.
If you want to get to "Factory" (Which is a big outlet mall), you have to get outside of the city. While Las Rozas Factory Mall is the most famous, I think is the worse of the three Madrid has. The easiest to access, and the biggest, is the one in San Sebastian de los Reyes. To get there, get the metro line 10 (dark blue); to the last station (Hospital del Norte); from there, there´s a 10 minute walk. You can also get buses 181 and 185 (going to Algete), in Plaza de Castilla. These will leave you at the door. Another great shopping mall outside central Madrid is Plaza Norte, in San Sebastian de los Reyes too; the stop is the next to Hospital del Norte (Reyes Católicos), and a 10 minute walk from there to the area called Mega Park; you can also get bus number 156 at Plaza de Castilla. Apart from lots of shops inside Plaza Norte, you have other large stores including Media Markt (electronics), Ikea and others.
