Shopping in Madrid
Shops, markets, specialists
Shopping is a passion in Madrid where free-spending pijos (people with money) keep the ultra-chic Salamanca designer shops in business. Chueca boutiques around Calle Almirante offer alternative designers, while Calle Fuencarral is packed with fashionable international brands. High-street stores are clustered along Calle Preciados and the best place for handicrafts is around Plaza Mayor. Larger shops stay open from 10am until 8pm or 8.30 pm, many smaller ones close from 2pm-5pm.
