Can anyone recommend a nice, reasonable clothing store (for men) in the Sol/Gran Via/Chueca area? I'm coming for the month of July, which I assume will be pure heat :b: :b: :b: , and would just as soon pick up a few light shirts en Madrid rather than pack them along.

Gracias,

El Dintador

That should be easy. You're lucky in that we are getting into the discount or "rebajas" period, so all the stores will be having sales. You can check Zara, Lefties (Zara's bargain outlet), Cortefiels, or any other number of mens' stores or department stores.

Speaking of shirts, this gives me the opening to ask all of the female members of the board this question: What's up with all of these "Affect and Effect" and "Walking Alone" t-shirts that I see lots of women wearing? Is this the latest Zara-conspiracy? Or something more insidious? I thought last year's "I am Waiting for the Bus" t-shirt was strange enough.

Hi there
I've a question. I'm going to Madrid at the end of this month and I would like to know if anyone has a adress of a Zara Lefties store and maybe if possible an adress of a Mango Outlet store (both somewhere in the city centre)?

Thanks verry much,
Amanda

hey Amanda, "lefties" is on calle carretas just off puerta del sol.

MAP HERE

if you walk up carretas from sol, it is on your right (set back a bit off the street) about half way up the street. if you hit the plaza de jacinto benavente, you went too far.

there is a mango outlet store at the madrid factory stores in "las rozas".

see store number "24" at http://www.factory.es/centros/lasrozas/centro.php .

also one at the factory outlets in "getafe" (outside of madrid). go to http://www.factory.es/centros/getafe/centro.php and click "pasillos 3 y 4", then click on store number "15".

if you click on the "accesos" link at top of each main factory location page, you can see the trains/busses you need to take to get there if you have no car.

according to ena (my gal :ks: ), there are also discount mango stores around madrid called "m2" (mango 2) where the clothes are cheaper than in normal mango shops.

saludos,
jer...

hey there is a mango's outlet on C/Fuencarral just a block or so from the Metro Tribunal stop. The store is regular Mango's on the first floor, but upstairs is the outlet. Just be forewarned, you can only pay for regular stuff in the regular store and outlet stuff in the outlet store, even though the two are connected.
