There are no chain hardware stores in Madrid, but rather independently owned, neighborhood shops. You should have no trouble pinpointing a hardware store in your neighborhood. However, the Cortes Ingles (http://www.elcorteingles.es/corporativo/centros/madrid/eng/listado.asp) and Carrefour (http://www.carrefour.es/hipermercados/guia_hipermercados/index.asp) stores generally have a hardware department. In addition, the countless Chinese owned stores (chinos) sell an extensive variety of economically priced items, including electrical goods. Keep in mind that many of the items sold at the Chinese stores are generic brands that may be of questionable quality.
