"Let's face it: That Real Madrid T-shirt you bought at the soccer stadium and those "Viva España" shot glasses you snapped up on Gran Vía aren't made in Spain, let alone in Madrid. But who are we to judge? Locally produced crafts are increasingly hard to track down—unless you know where to look. Enter Cocol, a newly opened boutique in La Latina where you can feel good about your souvenirs. Every item—from heirloom ceramics to esparto baskets to wool blankets—bears the name of an independent Spanish artisan." - Benjamin Kemper
