There are a great many establishments full of tradition in Madrid. They are family - run businesses whose secrets and good practices in their manufacturing of products have been handed down through various generations or new businesses that have recovered the old ways. Most of them look like the establishments of old times and are decorated in such a way as befits the products they sell but adapted to the new times.

Any article can be found in them: delicious food specialities - sweets, cold meats and tinned or canned food; clothes, capes, hats, espadrilles; accessories such as fans, umbrellas, shawls; antiques, musical instruments and thousands of products, all of them with something in common, their traditional character.
