It's not a problem for you to find a way to spend your money here. Just have a walk past the brand stores of Gran Vía, down trendy Calle Fuencarral with its indoor market, on to the bohemian and original shops of the chueca-quarter, and to the shopping-mekka around Puerta del Sol. If you want it more fancy, then go to the fashionable Salamanca neighbourhood for a stroll down 'The Golden Mile', lined with expensive fashion stores.
On Sunday mornings, go for the full flea market experience at the bustling 'El Rastro', where you'll find everything from souvenirs to old furniture.

This authentic open air market comes to live every Sunday in the most popular and picturesque area of the old town, which is a must-see in it's own right, but undoubtedly better on sunny, crowded Sundays! You will find all types of products, varying for old furniture (vintage-seekers will love) to clothes, food and unimaginable stuff!

Tourists usually visit the San Miguel market, its touristy and overpriced counterpart. By contrast, the San Antón market offers more affordable produce and hosts plenty of tapas bars and vinotecas where you can sample Spanish goodness amongst the locals.

As this is not right in downtown, you'll find very few tourists here and a more local experience. It's mainly based on food for home-cooking, but ready made tapas can be found as well. Enjoy a walk around the many colourful stalls in this cozy market, that also includes non-food stalls. Note that the market is closed on Sundays.

The Atocha building is beautiful seen from the outside, but the real wonder hides inside. A minor rainforest, with full-size palmtrees stretching their leafs towards the roof covering the giant hall. A spectacular contrast to all the iron and the marketstalls underneath. You will also find a small pond crowded with hundreds of turtles.

If you're a true movie fan you will love this place which houses both Spanish and International material. Located in a street that very few tourists make it to. Sit down for a drink and study the endless interior details.
