Madrid Shopping: Art galleries, international brands, charming little shops, luxury bakers and, above all, fashion. The area of Las Salesas has turned its two main streets, Piamonte and Almirante, into genuine catwalks setting the latest trends.
International brands mingle here with small enterprises, like the Chez Marián beauty centre, and charming little shops such as: the one opened by French entrepreneur Elsa, selling must-have women's hats; Mi Lolita Shoes and More. Cristina Casta?er (Almirante, 8) where shoes hold sway, or Expresión Negra, which sells fun decorative items imported from Senegal and made from recycled materials. Rather more sophisticated interior design ideas can be found at the stunning Mimomoss and at Homes in Heaven, the perfect place to buy elegant home accessories.
