Price guide
Girls shopping needn't be expensive. As capital cities go, Madrid is fairly cheap. You can buy a skirt in the centre of Madrid in one of the commercial stores such as Pimkie for around €25.00. In barrio Salamanca on the Calle Serrano, prices will be more like €200.00 for a hand-made designer skirt. Shopping in Chueca isn't the cheapest option, but you will find unique styles.
Shopping route for girls
Girls shopping in Madrid is best enjoyed if you stick to one area. Salamanca, to the north east of the centre caters for the jetset crowd, and has Madrid's equivalent to Bond Street in the form of Calle Serrano. Girls can find alternative styles in Chueca, and some of the best value stores are right in the centre near the Puerta del Sol.
