Guide to Shopping in Madrid

CENTRO

Art, Photography and Design Stores:

Blacksun – Specialized in digital photography and design, the folks here can grab any picture and twist it to your liking, from big frame ups to Warhol-like designs.

Lomography - A store dedicated to all that is analog, whether it be cameras, movies or their accessories. With today’s clean digital pictures you lose some of that rustic beauty, something this store aims to retain. They sell both the products (say, cameras) and the results (say, analog pictures).

Handcrafts and Home Accessories Stores:

Peseta - Creative handcrafts that are cure and childish, but not necessarily for children.

The o2 Store - Accesories for yourself and your house in the style of the sharper image–just less technological, more chic and full of pop culture.

Musical Instruments:

Jose Ramirez Guitars – Well made guitars in Madrid.

Music:

Toni Martin Discos – A treasure for lovers of  classic rock, blues, jazz and everything in between.

Bookstore:

Panta Rhei – A quirky and indie bookshop that is also a small art gallery

Other:

Subaquatica - Probably the only store in the city completely dedicated to Hip Hop with  books, videos, clothing, music and accessories available.

Pinta en Copas – a hybrid between arts and crafts and a store: you can choose over hundreds of ceramic models, whether they be accessories or just plain decorative,  and then paint them yourself.
