Where are the maximum number of electronic shops in Madrid located?

Hi
I am in Madrid till the end of this week. I am planning to buy the following USB 5-in-1 Connector for my Samsung Galaxy Tab.
The link is given below :-

http://www.miniinthebox.com/es/equip...&from=kelkooes

But Kelkoos will take 10-20 days to ship this to me but unfortunately I am leaving Madrid by the end of the week. Can you pls recommend some shops in Madrid where I can buy this?
I checked at the Darty, the PhoneHouse , Carrefour and MediaMarkt but this product is not anywhere. It may be available in some specialist Electronics shop in Madrid. I did find such a shop in Barcelona but they also will not be able to ship so soon. Do you guys know of any area of Madrid where I can find many speciality Electronics stores ? Then I will go and search out there for this USB Connector.

thanks and best regards
Raj

Hi, Raj,
I was at a conference in Madrid last year and someone needed some computer-related piece of equipment. We were sent to FNAC, which is very close to the Corte Ingles, here's their website maybe you can do a search and find whether they have the product. http://www.fnac.es/

I don't think you're going to find a street filled with small electronics stores.

Is this it? http://www.fnac.es/Samsung-Galaxy-Ta...Tablet/a692635

When I had a similar need in a smaller French city, FNAC solved it for me. I don't speak technical French, and the clerk didn't speak technical English, but we drew pictures,and they have a LOT of stuff.

If they haven't got it, El Corte Ingles is also an excellent idea, and they might be able to direct you elsewhere if they haven't got it. I have found the service there to be very good.

Thanks guys ---i will check FNAC and ECI.

Ireynold1, the product in the link provided by you is not what I am looking for.That is the standard USB Connector which is available in most shops here but I am looking for the 5-in-1 variant.

Thanks again for your time and valuable input.

Raj

Or you can wait 5,7 years and get it used at El Rastro.

I ordered the product online at miniinthebox.com and they will deliver to my home in India by the time I reach home.

That's great...

thanks to all of you for your inputs --- I am going to El Rastro this weekend for sure
