Spain Shopping

Spain Shopping posts cover where to spend a few hours and what to bring home. Articles look at the El Corte Ingles department store as a safe stop for tourists, the mid-range Zara, Mango and Massimo Dutti from the Inditex group, the Castellana and Salamanca districts in Madrid for high-end labels, the Born and Passeig de Gracia in Barcelona, the leather workshops of Ubrique that supply many luxury houses, and the small ceramics workshops in Talavera and Manises. There are also notes on the rebajas sales in January and July and on tax-free shopping for non-EU visitors.
