Santería la Milagrosa

Fascinating emporium near Sol, dealing in things spiritual – everything from amulets and birth charts to tarot cards, books on white magic and icons.
Seseña

Would-be matadors should first make their way here to be kitted out with the traditional Spanish cape. Be warned, however that they don’t come cheap (see Seseña).
Seseña

This firm near Sol has been making traditional full-length Spanish capes (capas ) since 1901, hand-tailored from the finest wool. Famous clients over the years include Picasso, Rudolph Valentino, Hillary Clinton and Michael Jackson. Needless to say, a made-to-measure cape of this quality does not come cheap.
Terra Mundi

Apart from its tasty Galician cooking, this restaurant sells regional produce: chorizo , tetilla (cream cheese), fish soups, pear compote, strawberry liqueur and around 20 wines from the Rias Baixas region (see Terra Mundi).
The Tie Gallery

Small shop dealing exclusively in Italian-designed silk ties made in Spain. Good range of colours and styles.
Toni Martín

Fans of country music, jazz and rock ‘n’ roll take note. This excellent outlet has a great selection of CDs and vinyl, new and second-hand.
Trilogía

Painted cherubs and velvet curtains are among the eye-catching trappings of this Chueca boutique. Outstanding range of men’s designer clothing in casual and formal styles, colours and materials.
Vázquez Fruits

Only small but this famous fruiter vendor includes, it is said, Queen Sofía among its patrons. The selection of tropical fruits in particular will stir the taste buds.
VIPS

This useful shopping and restaurant chain is open almost all hours. You can eat in the reasonably priced café-restaurant, while the shop stocks everything from books and newspapers to drinks and batteries.
Zara

This Spanish fashion phenomenon is now also a household name throughout Europe and the United States. Stylish clothes for all the family at very reasonable prices.
