What began as a small tailor shop in 1940 has grown into Spain’s best-known department store brand, with major branches scattered across Madrid.
The flagship stores near Puerta del Sol and in the upscale Salamanca district pack luxury fashion, cosmetics, gourmet food halls, wine shops and homewares into sprawling multi-floor spaces.
The rooftop restaurants and terraces at the Serrano 47 branch are worth a detour on their own.
