Places to go shopping in Madrid

Madrid’s December break is arriving very soon, a time that nearly everybody uses to advance in the Christmas gift shopping.

Places to go shopping in Madrid

Depending on your budget, on the person who you’re looking for a gift for, or the type of treat your searching for, the places to go shopping in Madrid vary noticeably.

Chueca and Fuencarral areas

One of the best places that the Chueca – Fuencarral area has to offer is that you can find both common brands and the latest design stores coexisting. It’s a perfect shopping area if you want to buy vanguard-style gifts and also if you want to get some shoes or trousers of the more mainstream brands.

Malasaña area

Malasaña is the perfect neighbourhood to buy designer clothes but also second-hand textiles or footwear, vintage furniture or that vinyl record you can’t find anywhere.

Gran Vía area

Gran Vía is the commercial street that brings all the curiosities together. You can buy footwear, jewellery, fashion or tech gifts that don’t deviate too much from the standards and get it 100% right. It’s the street where all the big brands decide to put their stores in the capital.

Preciados area

As well as in Gran Vía, the Preciados area is the perfect area for more mainstream shopping. Those stores you use to play it safe. Big department stores, with electronic devices, music discs, books, clothes, toys…
