I thought a hand painted fan would be something she'd like. And this was the place to go. I was pleasantly surprised by the price range. I bought two fans on the mid-high end, but I really like them. I skipped the specially designed stands because at 100€ a piece, I can't afford the stand to cost more than the fan. The service in the store was good. They were pleasant, but a little abrupt. It could have been the language barrier. So I won't really fault them. Other items including Paraguas (umbrellas) can be found here. Definitely worth at least a look in the Windows if only to admire the handiwork.

Their silk-screened shirts are truly unique, with a graphic design sensibility that features the work of local designers. You won't find t-shirts like this anywhere else, so if you're already at Sol, Madrid's central square, it's worth the short walk over to Typographia to buy some new shirts for yourself, and these are the kind of t-shirts that would also make great gifts. One star off for the off-putting staff who don't do justice to the design work on display here - and no refunds, so be sure to try on your selections before leaving the shop as the sizes run a bit small. They do accept exchanges but, again, a bit begrudgingly. Note to staff: Be proud of what you're selling!

There were so many stores to choose from, all seemed to have 100% leather shoes, made in Spain. When stumbling upon Coimbra, it felt different, very old world craftsmanship, complete with two gentleman that were extremely helpful.

Even though I speak very little Spanish, it was a pleasure doing business at such a traditional shoe store, something that just doesn't exist in the US anymore. The shoes I purchased appear to be of great quality and reasonably priced. Combined with the great service, I hope other tourists will find this review and support this store which has been in the same location since 1953.

It's hard not to be impressed and amused when you stand before it. I had to get my photo taken before it next, it's just too rad not to. We bided our time, scoping out the scene. The vinyl (no cds) collection is small but it's good, comprised of rock and roll greats like: Spiritualized, Guns and Roses, Queens of the Stone Age, Mogwai, more... A song by Hole blared from the store's speakers while we sifted through the truly great Cheap Monday label clothing selection. I used to shop this label back in the States at Urban Outfitters. It's good quality, hip and very reasonably priced. Nicely fitting skinny jeans in an array of colors and washes for 45 eur. Nice! And they also have great mens' shirts, cardigans and jackets, too. All very rock and roll. Further re-enforcing my easy theory that the owners love rock and roll-- one of said owners struck up a conversation with us when we asked him if he minded us taking a photo of the hi-fi sculpture. And what a swell guy!, the epitome of "majo" (very nice) and cool, he said of course we could and without provocation launched into a small history of the sculpture. And the philosophy behind his store. He told us that the sculpture was "on the road" and that what we were seeing was just a part of the piece. The main installation is at the social/cultural center La Casa Encendida and would later move on to another one in another town. Cuervo Music is a music store, an art space, a clothing store, a place where bands can rent out the rehearsal space downstairs, and occassionally they host live perfomances on the main floor. Also, that small vinyl collection? Well it's more special than we thought- most of the albums are special, collectors editions. How cool is that!

Surprisingly, despite the location, it was also rather reasonably priced. Even here, I was happy to find the Elosegui brand of headwear, which was founded in 1858 in Tolosa, in the Basque Country (northeastern Spain). Various Basque headwear is pretty hard to find anywhere, especially of good quality (this was made out of wool to keep your head warm in the winter), so I was pleased to find it in Casa Yustas and was able to buy a particular one that is typical of the Basque country's Pyrenees region for myself (boina pirineos, yes, that specific!) - both as a souvenir and as something I can wear often! Customer service was a bit worn because of the gamut of tourists outside the doors, but also friendly once they see you're interested in actually buying something. I would peruse through the selection here again if I do come back to the area.
