Antiques galore |
Ibiza, 30 Madrid 28009 Spain |
This charming place stocks antiques that are sure to get collectors excited. The dim lighting and slightly cluttered appearance only serve to further its reputation as a treasure trove. You can sell anything of value to them too; your item will be restored as best possible and then put up for sale. The prices offered are fair, and buying customers seem satisfied too; La Chamarilería counts several stores and individuals among its clientele. Review © 2007, Wcities |
