Anyone know where to buy reasonably priced
stationery in Madrid, preferably in the centre? E.g. an equivalent of Woolworth�s.

The papelerias and Corte Ingles, all seem expensive (compared with Woolies at home). I�ve asked a couple of Spanish people, but they just suggest the above.

"Todo a 100 ptas" shops are often good for basic stationery supplies (none of the ones I've seen have changed to a euro-friendly name yet!)

Big hypermarkets are good too - I bought loads of folders, files, pads, pens etc (v good prices) at Alcampo at the La Vaguada shopping centre - easily accessible by Metro (Barrio del Pilar). That's probably the nearest to Woolworth's you'll get

I TOTALLY agree with JamesH.

Stationary stores in Spain tend to be EXPENSIVE and I also get my supplies at the "20 duros" (todo a 100) stores and/or at the hipermercados like Alcampo.

Should be able to find all you need.
