I was in Madrid over the weekend visiting my daughter who is spending her college year abroad. We…read morevisited the museum Reina Sofia and afterwards we wanted to get something for my wife who couldn't make the trip. As we wandered through the neighborhood we run into Acervo, a charming small gift shop that piqued our curiosity.
We went inside and were surprised by the fascinating variety of items available: jewelry, wines, and --what most impressed me -- were those decorative traditional artifacts with tremendous Iberian history behind them. I loved them and got a couple for my wife who normally isn't satisfied with run of the mill touristic gifts. Quite an impressive place!
The people working there speak English and they are very knowledgeable about the art history of Spain; it was a truly enjoyable and cultural experience.
I recommend to anybody who wants something unique and historical to check this place out.
