As a well-known American film-maker prefers not to do business with small start-up companies, Fotoimpex turned east in the search for quality film and photographic accessories. And it came up with a couple of gems, such as Czech-made Foma film and East German black and white film sold under the name of efke. The classic photo paper sold here doesn't even pretend to be a brand, but hey, this is first class stuff sold at a fraction of the price asked by better-known manufacturers.

A forest of outdated lamps dangle from the ceiling and dozens of multi-colored plastic television sets, chairs and tables fight for space on the floor. The clothing section offers a selection of wacky second-hand sixties gear as well as modern-day revivalist Spanish labels such as Inexplicable and No Mad. And it's probably best not to even mention the large collection of wigs...
