Shopping at the center of Madrid

J. L. Gamallo. Madrid is not only a top tourist destination with museums and monuments of great historical and artistic importance, but also has a great attraction for shoppers, whether in department stores, malls or stores. Very near the Hostal Horizonte extends the great commercial center of Madrid, whose main axes are Carretas street, Price, Carmen and Arenal. These streets are numerous shops in clothing, accessories or shoes that will delight men and women. At the entrance to the street price is the oldest seat of Spanish commerce giant, El Corte Inglés, with sections of all things imaginable.
