While Paris and Milan are leaders  as Europe's shopping destinations,  Madrid is quickly winning a reputation as a fashionable city. The secret of its success is in reasonable prices and variety. Even unless you’re shopping in designer boutiques, you’ll find the prices very reasonable, especially in the sales. In comparison to shopping in other cities in Europe.  Next to popular brands like Mango and Zara you`ll find clothes by local designers Caramelo, Purificacion Garcia, Adolfo Domfnguez and others.  I think that the choice more varied here, and  prices are more reasonable. Spanish shoes are famous for their high quality and affordable prices. Especially good for shoes is Chueca. Enjoy your Holiday Madrid.
