Madrid has wonderful design shops, vintage fashion and concept stores. Find out all about them in this Madrid design guide.
On my last visit to Madrid, I found and booked a lovely flat in Malasaña without even knowing that it was the coolest neighbourhood in the city.
When I left the flat to explore the streets nearby I found myself in design heaven.
In this guide, I’ll tell you about some great design shops in Madrid, mostly around Malasaña but also in other parts of the city.
Madrid is a very walkable city, you can easily see all of these stores while strolling around the city in a day or two.

Best districts for design lovers in Madrid
Malasaña attracts the hipster crowd, and two of my favourite streets there are Calle de la Palma and Calle Velarde.
These are full of vintage and design stores, mostly small shops selling fashion, furniture and quirky things.
Malasaña borders the other hip neighbourhood called Chueca, which is also Madrid’s gay village, so you’ll probably visit both when you walk around that area.
