El Moderno

Top choice


This concept store down the Gran Vía end of Malasaña is the epitome of style, although it's less Malasaña retro than a slick new-Madrid look. Designer homewares, jewellery, stationery, quirky gifts and shapely furnishings, all laid out in an open gallery space allow you to indulge your inner interior designer.
