Alternative shopping....


I didn't write during this weekend because I went to Madrid ( Spain ) for work...and I decided to stay there all the weekend....and obviously I went to some of my favourite places there....

As you can imagine, Madrid is full of surprising and different environments, but there's a very special place....the Fuencarral Street......

In full center of the capital, replete with showy, original trades, acquaintances and strangers, shoe stores, shops of Chinese, bars … this street has turned into a place of reference to the lovers of the different thing, beginning for Fuencarral's out-standing Market. In a word, this place proves … incredibly. Authentic " box of surprises " that wastes imagination, creativity and design, with a very alternative and free atmosphere.

An authentic ultramodern choice that defies to the boring and typical malls, breaking the sober aesthetics of these. The market - that shelters approximately 60 shops - is an explosion of color, lights, new trends, complements and clothes, specializing centers of piercing and tattooes …

… Designers, craftsmen, small merchants, a modern hairdresser's shop, gifts, cosmetics, shoe stores, discs, jewels, a Sofa - club, a small gallery of art and up to live music. In addition, the Market also organizes playful events: cycles of cinema, theatre, concerts … A place of meeting and of new trends that is worth knowing if you are a lover of the new experiences.
