A true Hispanic original, this long-established shop located just a stone's throw from the Puerta del Sol sells nothing but guitars. Not any old guitar, though. These handmade gems are purchased worldwide, and all shipping orders must be placed in the shop itself. You can also visit the workshop to see these instruments being made on weekdays. Open Monday to Friday 10am to 2 pm and 4:30 to 8pm; Saturday 10:30am to 2 pm.
