A HIT WITH THE LOCALS

Pieces of jewellery are dreams come true in the eyes of these makers who, in their studios in Madrid, uphold an artisan tradition deeply rooted in our city.

A large part of Madrid’s history has been witnessed by the marble tabletops of its coffee shops which, since the start of the 19th century, have enriched cultural life in the capital by hosting regular philosophical debates.

Just as they did back then, these establishments with over a century of history still put a smile on our faces, especially at Christmas when they become even more magical.
