Just a stone's throw from the Square, trendy Spanish clothing line Zara has a retail store. The store features both men's and women's clothing (more professional attire downstairs, more "junior" type clothing upstairs). The brand is similar to H&M in that in features very of the minute clothing for low prices. I shop there regularly and find many trendy tops and pants for reasonable prices that do not look cheap. Incidentally, as a tall person, the pants are more than long enough for me and I'm almost 5'11 so that's an advantage. But as a European brand, the sizes tend to run small so it's not a good store for the plus-sized. The biggest disadvantage is some of the clothing appears to have loose threads - I have only owned and washed their pieces for several months without a problem but I do wonder about the quality of the construction/lasting power. In sum, good place to find a seasonal trend for a low price, bad place to buy a staple like a winter jacket.
