Curiosities in Corredera Alta de San Pablo

Curiosite in Corredera Alta de San Pablo 28 is the perfect shop if you want to buy a original gift. Something totally different and... To be honest stupid... BUT! that doesn't mean its not funny and necessary. And... Who's not tired of giving boring gifts?? At Curiosite there are none boring gifts (you yourself and your friends).

A really funny shop is Popland, they have sunglasses, t-shirts, pins, hats, balloons...

What can't you find at Tiger?

Tiger is like a danish chinese or a much smaller IKEA. Its cheap and you find a lot of fun things, even some beautiful decoration stuff. You can find everything, like a typical spanish "tienda china". For the kitchen, for the kids, for the handy-man in the house, decoration, some snacks, for the bathroom, cosmetics, party-stuff like outfits, school things like pencils etc. Yes, everything! There is 3 different in Madrid center, Alcala 372, Fuencarral 103 and Hermosilla 91. 

What is Isolée?

Really, what is Isolée? You can find food, decoration, clothes for babies and men, you can take a drink in the evening, eat something, "party"... But even if its hard to say what it is its like a shop-lounge-bar everything its really good and I really like it. AND! You can find international products! Calle Infantas 19.

La Noche de los Teatros

Tomorrow you cant miss Madrids Theater Night, from 17:00 to 24:00 more than 80 theaters and 150 activities will be held everywhere in Madrid, streets, galleries etc. Here are some examples: Les Miserables at Lope de Vega, Gran Via 57, Avenue Q at Teatro Alcala, Jorge Juan 62 and Forever Young at Compac, Gran Via 66. And if you dont want to go to the theater just hang at Fuencarral, Plaza Santa Ana or Bilbao where you could see dances, shows and surprises. If you would like to go to a interesting conference you have some options, like at the IED, Altamira 8, "Fashion in Theaters" or at Casa Asia, Carrera de San Jeronimo 15, "Sweet Memories and other Dreams". A lot of the things are free so enjoy.

A Gin or a Vodka?

Can't decide..? Well, then it will be even harder to decide if you go to Adam & Van Eekelen at Calle Pez 36.
A shop with a lot of Vodka and Gin types, brands... If you are a Vodka or a Gin lover you have to go!

Downstairs where you can eat you have the beach. Full of sand. If you go, dont forget to leave a message on the bathroom walls.

Ardene

Have you ever been to Ardene? I saw one in Principe Pio Shopping Mall. Its a Canadian brand and in Madrid they have 5 shops, all of them in shopping malls. Its very similar to Primark but smaller, much smaller, with less things and only for girls.
They dont have a proper website for Spain but they have a wordpress site.
Ardene Spain and Ardene International (Canada).
