Style And Sophistication In Madrid
Madrid is well known for the fashion sense and style of its people. It hosts one of the biggest fashion shows in Europe; the Pasarela Cibeles. It seems to me that everyone in Madrid has their own style - this is probably because they have so many shops to choose from. If you're looking for boutiques shopping in Madrid, the best place to go is to the barrio (district) of Salamanca, where you'll find the Spanish equivalent of London's
Bond

Finding That Unique Outfit
Boutiques shopping in Madrid is so easy because all the designer stores are along one street. The street of Serrano in the Salamanca district is known as Madrid's 'Golden mile' of shops, where you'll easily find the highest quality clothes and the most unique styles. The prices reflect the quality, but if you are on a budget, it's easy to find accessories instead of the full outfit.
