Bazar Matey is a wonderful store catering to collectors of model trains, aeroplanes and cars, and all sorts of accessories. The items here are the real deal, with near-perfect models of everything from old Renfe trains to obscure international airlines. Prices can be sky-high, but that doesn’t deter the legions of collectors who stream in from all over Madrid on Saturday.
