I’m going to be in Barcelona and Madrid 13-18 July. Any recommendations for vintage watch shops/markets/meets?

Not really but I'd recommend not wearing anything remotely interesting because - especially in B - watch theft is a plague

That’s true for Barcelona. Madrid is much safer, especially during the day. At night however, especially if you party hard, wear your moonswatch indeed!

There is little watch scene in general. In Madrid the Rastro has some vintage vibes, but not much watches and don’t expect to find a gem.

Enjoy the nice restaurants, the drinks, and perhaps see if you can do a day tour to Segovia, Toledo (if you have some time). Bear in mind it’s freaking hot in summer - so plan accordingly for any straps/watch you take! You will sweat!

Good trip!
