I wish I was a little more knowledgeable about prices for alcohol in spain, I mean, who knows?? Maybe I'm getting ripped off, but oh well. Anyway, this was a pretty large liquor store with a really great variety of liquors and wines; some of the other stores--even of comparable size--had as many bottles as this place, but less than half of the selection. A whole wall of Absolut vodka?? Who the hell needs that? You won't find that in this place, no sir, every bottle seems to be different. You could spend an hour here exploring and comparing.
We had originally come in to find a nice bottle of sherry as a gift, I did peruse the wines and they looked awesome and seemed to be priced well too. The lady at the front helped with the choice of sherry, and of course it was one of the more expensive ones, but the enthusiasm with which the proprietress suggested it couldn't have been faked--unless of course she was a sociopath. Cheers, señora, cheers! Anyway, great liquor store, I'd definitely go back to this one if I ever visit Madrid again. read more
