It's a lovely busy street with branches of all the well known fashion chains interspersed with designer boutiques and the odd café or bar perfectly placed to sit and recharge your batteries. Take any of the streets off Colón and you'll have even more choice. Walk down Calle Jorge Juan, past even more shops and take a look at the Art nouveau Masterpiece Mercado Colón, recently restored to perfection and a perfect place to take a coffee and do a little more shopping.
