Miguel describes his store, the market and its barrio as "totally hipster." He says that the stores of Mercado Fuencarral are different because they sell items that cannot be easily found and are more one-of-a-kind. Half of his customers are expats and tourists, just popping in, while the other half have been shopping there for years. Miguel believes both the market and his store have survived so long because of their individuality. (Photo by Eva San Juan)
