Here people buy far, far less toys for kids, and they are def considered "luxury" items to adult collectors. They are imports, like how Japanese stuff is for the States. Some friends who have seen my collection in the states think I'm crazy or rich or both (and I have very little compared to some of you guys.)

Things balance out though: My wife and I can go out to eat at a good restaurant, have good food, and have a ton of beers or glasses of wine, for under $15. Can't often do that in most of the states.
Madrid is a phenomenal city. my wife and i stayed @ my friend's studio on Arenal - at la Puerta del Sol, in the heart of town. we had the time of our lives. so many shops, but i never found toys. the thought never came to mind! we ate the best food ever. i speak Spanish, so i was home. i've never been to Barcelona nor Sevilla, but i will. You are a lucky man. My wife and I were so smitten that we didn't want to come home to Los Angeles. I still have "Spain withdrawals." We plan to live there for a couple of years in the future, if time and luck permit.

highlights: Mahou Beer. Malasaña nightlife. Real Madrid @ Bernabeu! HALA MADRID!!
