". It's a small little shop, but they manage to have a little bit of everything in there: there is even a cafeteria where you can have a tea or coffee and chat to other mums at the back of the shop. The owner is a lady called Cristina who lived in the UK for 6 years so she speaks perfect English. She evidently has good taste, as the products she sells demonstrate: they are much nicer (for my taste at least) than products you'll find in many Spanish baby shops. She likes to sell organic, so she stocks the "Ella's Kitchen" UK brand of organic baby foods, along with "Organix" fruit pots, for example. Several of the clothes lines also use organic cotton, and you can really tell the difference in quality and feel. The prices as a result can be a little more expensive on these lines, but if you want quality and style, you'll find great pieces here. On other products, her prices are comparable to shops like El Corte Ingles and Rabasa(I've done the comparison). We bought our buggy here, a Baby Jogger, American brand, and we weren't able to find this brand anywhere else we looked. This is a great little shop for English speaking mums - she also offers free mother and baby groups in the cafe at the back of the shop. I attended a Breastfeeding Group on Tuesday mornings during my maternity leave and met lots of other mothers in the area. Keep in mind the shop is closed during the Spanish siesta hours" (JB, July 2012)
