The most famous flea market in Madrid is the Rastro (Lavapies tube) which takes place every Sunday with lots of colourful stalls of handicrafts, clothes and antiques of all kinds (beware of pickpockets!) Around the Plaza Mayor (in the very heart of the historical district of Madrid), you will find some traditional shops, some said to be more than two hundred years old, selling the famous fans and embroidered silk shawls as well as antiques and religious items. And last but not least, the Corte Inglés with various locations dotted around the city is Spain's most popular chain of superstores and a true Aladdin's cave.

Staghen can organise shopping trips which take you to all of the best shops in Madrid with the biggest bargains. The other option is to take Route 2 on our Open Air bus Tour where you can get on and off the double decker tour which passes many of the best stores. Contact us for further details.
