Name of Shop: Book World
Book World is a good place to start if you are teaching or learning English, looking for English books or indeed learning Spanish from English.
There is a wide range of English books for learning, grammar, vocubulary... including an excellent selection of dictionaries - including specialised dictionaries (legal, science, etc.). Also there are many books about Spanish history and culture (in English and Spanish).
Additionally, a good stock of books are included for those learning Spanish. Prices vary in comparison to those on popular internet sites (such as amazon.com) and can be significantly cheaper or more expensive, so you may want to compare.
Staff here are helpful with enquiries.
What To Pay: In comparison with other bookshops and online prices, Book World is fairly average - sometimes more, sometimes less.

.....*:..*..:*.....: Shopping in Salamanca

Name of Shop: .....*:..*..:*.....
The area of Salamanca is the zone for serious shoppers in the centre of Madrid. (Note, this is not to be confused with the city of Salamanca, located several kilometres outside of Madrid!)
The main shopping streets are Calle Goya, Calle Velazquez, Calle Serrano.... (and so the metro stations are Goya, Velazquez, Serrano - all Line 4)
In Goya you will find the main high street names and a variety of clothing shops for men, women and children, as well as the big Spanish department store - El Corte Inglés.
*this tip will be updated shortly*
