Shopping in Madrid

Madrid has a lot to offer in terms of shopping-related activities. Buy Spanish wine at Mariano Madrueno, a top purveyor since 1895. There are inviting and affordable craft shops ringing the Plaza Mayor: They sell lace, embroidery, ceramics, leather, and jewelry. You can easily step into the Sol and Salamanca district with its department stores and classy designer shops. The Chueca and Fuencarral Street area and the Fuencarral market are also avant-garde and cool. Try El Rastro, Madrid’s largest flea market, for retro clothing and jewelry. For all your quotidian needs the El Corte Ingles department store has everything and more.
