AVANT-GARDE
The most modern, bohemian and avant-garde design has its space in Madrid. We find it in the neighborhoods of Malasaña, Chueca, Triball and Salesas. Here opens up a whole range of possibilities and a whole world for shopping. We reveal all the secrets of the avant-garde of Madrid.
Throughout the area you will find a multitude of small stores that stand out for their originality from the most "trendy" point of view. Both the main street and the surrounding streets have become one of the most visited shopping areas by tourists as they concentrate a large number of small establishments where you can find all kinds of casual clothes at very competitive prices.
The area known as Triángulo de Ballesta is a totally rehabilitated neighborhood that strives to be more than just a shopping area, as it aims to be an area full of fresh and innovative ideas.
The old shops have given way to new creators and emerging designers. Clothing stores, accessories, decoration and creative gastronomic proposals, everything has a place in Triball.
Very close to the Triball neighborhood, we find Chueca. This central gay district of Madrid is one of the most cosmopolitan and avant-garde of the capital. You can find gifts, clothing, accessories, gay-themed accessories ....
Also emerging in the neighborhood are new concept stores with multifunctional spaces, where you can find delicatessen products from all over the world, along with the latest fashion trends or have a glass of Moët & Chandon. All in one place.
Nearby is the Salesas area, where you will find an area of haute couture, but with more alternative airs.
In this neighborhood you will find decoration stores and designer boutiques of young fashion talents that coexist with stores like Devota y Lomba that have set the trend of the neighborhood.
Being in the forefront demands continuous updating, and the organization of all kind of events. Check our shopping agenda and do not miss anything.
For example, the Fashion Night Out, since 2009, during one night brings the best sales in a fashion and luxury environment. The Nómada Market is another event that gives the opportunity to independent designers to trade with their designs in a fair organized in Chamartín station. The Molly Market is a street market of independent talents in an underground environment, where handmade products are sold.
If you are into the design, Matadero Madrid turns into the best entrepreneur, sustainable and affordable art and design showroom every first weekend of the month in the so called Mercado Central de Diseño (Central Design Maket).
