I've been searching all over the Internet for about a month but cannot find it. Does anyone know the name or address of the Sombrería in the Plaza Mayor de Madrid? It is a traditional type hat store that is located in one of the corners of the Plaza, and closes fairly early, so you may not have noticed it in the evening when they pull down the window covers. Thank you for any info.

Edited: I was looking on other posts and somebody mentioned this hat store! They said it was in the northeast corner, you turn right when you come into the plaza coming from the calle Postas. Does anyone know the name?

Northeast corner of the Plaza Mayor, eh? That MUST be this place:

"Casa Yustas", Plaza Mayor, 30. Website @ http://www.casayustas.com

MUCHISIMAS GRACIAS! I've been looking all over the internet for a website but couldn't find it! Thank you. I wanted to buy a specific hat there while I was in Spain, but planned to return to Madrid at the end of my trip so I waited. I didn't think of the fact that I'd be back on a Sunday, and the business would be closed. Thank you so much!

Actually there are about three different sombrerias at Plaza Mayor. Shop around for the best deal on the hat you want. The prices do vary.

Like I stated in an earlier post, I wanted to buy a hat at the Casa Yustas Sombrería in Madrid, but unfortunately it was closed when I returned after touring the country. I checked out their website, but it does not offer a way to order online. Does anyone know of other situations where if I wrote them a letter telling them what I wanted to buy and telling them where in the store I found it before, that if I included a few euros and some extra for shipping, that they would send it to me?

Has anyone done anything like this before? The hat is only 6 euros, so if they didn't send it, I wouldn't be losing a big stash of money.

There's only one sure way to find out, send the letter and see.
