Opened in 1905, Papelería Salazar is a priceless relic, Madrid's oldest stationery store and is now run by the fourth generation of the Salazar family. It's a treasure trove that defies description and combines items of interest only to locals (old-style Spanish bookplates, First Communion invitations) with useful items like Faber-Castell pens and pencils, maps, notebooks and drawing supplies.
