During your visit to Madrid you should not miss a few stops at the most representative shops of Spanish fashion. Because there's nothing we like more than to brag about being a fashion traveller. Wouldn't you love to be able to answer "on my last visit to Madrid" to those who ask you about your look? 

From Balenciaga and Custo to Desigual and Loewe, Spanish fashion has made a name for itself across the globe, with both its haute couture and prêt-à-porter collections.

However, it’s in the franchise segment that Spain has reached unprecedented milestones, particularly in the case of Inditex Group. Quality for reasonable prices is the formula for Zara, Pull & Bear or Bershka, where men and women of all ages can pick up a bargain.
