Vegan Products in Madrid, Spain

by Martin
(Spain)

I am new to being vegetarian and have started to purchase a few of the vegan foods and cosmetics e.g. Vegan biscuits, the small bars of soaps and the toothpaste and am eating more of the granary bread along with the fruit.

However, having a problem with finding vegan stores in Madrid, Spain which is where I am living at the moment. I also find it a little bit expensive. hence I am starting with small quantities of things. Do you know of any good shops, places in Madrid that you can recommend or advise when buying things cheap on a budget?

I am starting to make the sandwiches, but would like to know where and what I could buy as a cheap alternative to this since I would normally eat a couple of sandwiches or big mac with crisps and coke. They seem to charge very high prices for things like coca cola or chocolate. The peanuts and fruit and veg is no problem. But the buying of things like Tempeh and Tofu seem very expensive.

Please could you advise. No longer where the wool or leather belts or things of that nature and try not to purchase these by mistake. Good recommendations too for deodorants - I prefer to go to a shop and will buy the products - but need advise on the buying of things more cheaply.
