How much do abanicos cost in Madrid?

Question

And where can I find some?

Answer 1

There are specialist shops in the Plaza real and the Plaza Sol. (Expensive)

Check prices in El Corte Ingles before you buy. Corte is expensive so you will know not to spend too much for what you want.

Prices vary from €3 to the moon for diamond encrusted numbers.

Answer 2

Hi, In Madrid you can buy abanicos for 3-5 Euros onwards. Deepends:

where you buy it

what its built off

If someone famous has used it or made it

Handmade

At the Rastro fleamarcket c/Rivera de Curtidores you can buy some interesting ones in Antich shops where you will have to barter on specific historical banicos or supposedly historical, and also diverse hand made by some artists who sell it at their kiosks quite affordable.

A normal place, at least untill quite recently where the shops where women, or men, bought sewing utensils and other goods called "Mercerias" - there are one or more in every neighbourhood, and used to carry several models.
