I rented a small house in a off the beaten path country town that was just perfect ! I like to continue the saga of our new road warrior experiences even if now with less in our family,This post is on my latest road warrior tour of wonderful sublime back to Madrid, Therefore, let me tell you about my Shopping in Madrid, part VII !!! Hope you enjoy the post as I.
This is Madrid capital of the province and community of Madrid as well as the kingdom of Spain, All central all comes and leaves from here in my dear Spain, A must to visit at least once in your lifetime or more once bitten with the bug as from Madrid to heaven and a hole in the sky to look down on it everyday ! Once again, thrill to be back to my Madrid and this year twice !! Love it !!! Only 202 km from our rental house in Velliza down on the A62, A6, and this time to the M500 and M30 to the Retiro park and our parking at Parking Avenida del Mediterraneo 28 near metro bus Conde de Casal and the Retiro park, From here back to Centro or old town to see more of my Madrid !
The MediaMarkt we like to go most is located at Plaza del Carmen 2 Centro Madrid, It is the largest in the country in urban zone. In his commitment to place itself in one of the most commercial areas of the city, It joins other technology firms and premises present in the gold mile of consumer electronics in Spain. The premises has 2,500 square meters distributed on two floors, in which a greater closeness with the client and their needs will be sought. 35 screens of various formats, distributed throughout the space, project the information of the products and services they offer. In addition, special areas have been installed to test and manipulate electronic products, becoming the most digital and experiential store in the chain, They are part of the the German group Ceconomy, and includes Saturn, Redcoon and Mediamarkt, Ceconomy AG was born on July 12, 2017 when the consumer electronics division and the Metro AG retail division separated into two different companies.

The Primark at Calle Gran Vía 32 was an experience we first encounter in Valladolid and of course, needed to check this one out in my Madrid, I did my shopping in Valladolid and my boys did it in Madrid, all a great experience, except the elevator:lift in the Madrid store is a madness especially at Christmas time as we were, always full lol !
Primark is an international retail clothing company with presence in 23 countries, and 450 stores, It was founded in Ireland in 1969 under the name of Penneys, The stores aims to offer affordable options for everyone, from great basic quality products for daily use to distinguished style garments in women’s clothes, men and children, as well as beauty products, household items and accessories ; with the focus on creating the best shopping experiences in store, As said, Primark was founded in 1969 in Dublin ,Ireland under the name of Penneys. Currently, this is still the name of the 37 stores they have in Ireland. By 2006;the opened their store in Spain at Madrid, where now have 56 stores. For my reference, in 2013, they open their first store in France at Marseille, and now currently have 21 stores

I am a lover of travels to Europe , Americas , Africa and Asia as well ,who like to share my experiences of the last 53 years with the world, visiting so far 81 countries; living in 6, working in 5, and Citizen of 4, speaking fluently 4 languages. I can deal with sports especially football/soccer and love music, arts, wine collector/drinker, and go out to restaurants, and just visit the world.
My background comes all the way from Candelaria and Pajara in Tenerife, Spain where my grandparents came from ;not knowing each other then, to Punta Brava, west of Havana, Cuba. There , my parents born in Cuba met and later on I was born there too. 100% guanche (annexed Tenerife to Spain on April 10 ,1496). I left Cuba as many have to Madrid, Spain where I lived for 4 years. Then, move to Perth Amboy ,New Jersey USA (living there 13 yrs) ; where I completed high school, became a US Citizen, learned to drive a car, and learned English. Afterward, went to the university in Florida, ERAU, and upon graduation decided to moved there to Ormond by the Sea, near Daytona Beach, finally moving North Miami, then Hialeah, then another moved to Silver Lakes division in Miramar, Broward county, Florida; in Florida I lived a total of 18 years. Finally , moved to France in 2003 ,Versailles call me for its royalty, and working in Paris was great. It was time to seek frontiers again and moved to Brech near Auray, Morbihan in Brittany , and later move to not too far Pluvigner. Total so far in France has been 20 years, and counting.
Moving average a home every 5.5 years hopefully this will be my last. Cheers
