what about this spanish store i hear a lot about/mango or mexx? are those in madrid?

 

[lucy92]

i really reccomend mango. very reasonably priced very durable stuff.

they are opening up american stores in 2007.

 

[chrissytina119]

i LOVE mango! When I lived in Athens I was always there, not too expensive and great selection! I also went to the larger Mango in Barcelona, i liked it alot better than zara

 

[lucy92]

is the primark store in madrid worth going to?

is there a camper outlet?

 

[verymoni]

there is an outlet in "Las Rozas" in the suburbs of madrid, it's called "The Rozas Village" It has many shops, like MUSGO (which sells bracellets, necklaces, handbags... and clothes of course) There you have also Pepe Jeans, Hoss...

There is a mall called "Plaza Norte 2" You can ask the taxi driver or the bus driver or look for it on the internet. There is Blanco, Zara (those shops are so cheap), Stradivarius, Bershka, Sfera, Mango, Adolfo Dominguez, Diesel, Pepe Jeans, Pull and Bear, Springfield, H&M, Pimkie...

Any more hot tips for shopping in madrid?

How to make the most of a long weekend there?

What about the nightlife? Where do the locals go out in weekends (I hate tourist-y places)?

Where do you eat the best food?

 

[lucy92]

food: try plaza santa ana. there are a lot of tapas places around there.
best food: try el botin on calle de la cucherillos (right near the plaza mayor)
its a tourist attraction and rightfully so!

shopping: try the salamanca metro stop. lotsof boutiques around there. including the boutique of monica cruz (penelope's sister)

 

[melt977]

Thanks!

 

[melt977]

Does any Madrileno here know a boutique called Kling?
Or one called Eleven?

To be honest, I'm not sure they are in Madrid....

I was looking for a brand on the web and it said that its stockists in Spain is Eleven and Kling... does it ring any bells?

I guess the must be sort of avant-gardish, judging by the brand... any help will be greately appreciated...

Hi, I am going to Madrid in two weeks for a short visit, so any recommendation,beside this will be great! I not interested in designer fashion, but also not in Zara or Mango, I have it here and I don't like it. But something in between, like DKNY and stuff and good shoes. Are all shopping areas in the center of the city and easy to find? And small restaurants and stuff like that, equal to Saint Germain in Paris? Thanks! I am really looking forward to my spanish adventure!

I'm from Madrid so I can give you tips.
Hey for everyone, there is no better place in the world, to party than Spain, and we do it in a totally different way(in soul at least hehe). I know Madrid is not Ibiza, but we are Spain, so you have parties everyday in many places. You can find, any kind of club, bar whatever; or typical from here you can do a botellon, or just go to a macroparty in any town.
For shopping, it depends what kind of shop you like. For the Americans, now buying in Europe isnt that good, so...but we have like hundreds of Zara and all its group stores like MAssimo Dutti, Bershka etc...and they are way cheaper than in other countries. Then you have Mango Primark, H&M and all that kind of stores.
For the people that doesnt like Zara and dont want to spend like hundreds on big designers, you may go around Fuencarral street and Chueca where you can find many minor designers, and some locals, and in Augusto Figueroa street, many shoe shops, although shoes are usually very nice and good quality in any store in MAdrid. Then you have a MAnolo Blahnik store as well, as he is from Spain, but the price is the same than in other countries.
If you have more questions, ask me and I would answer.
