A classic in Spain, this multi store shops building would be found in any place in Spain, other malls of the company are Hipercor and Opencor the 20 hours open supermarketHere you can find anything you look: supermarket, clothes, luxury products, souvenirs or even cheap brands
A 7% VAT is the tax to be add to restaurants, hotels etc. Service is included so the tips is optional, not obligatory.Basic products as Bread have the 3%.And the rest of products (that are supposed to be luxury, but they are not lol) that you can buy have the 16%.Remember that airports anymore are duty free for Europe flights, but still you can get discounts when flying outside
Shopping is Spain is great. In the larger cities, you'll find grand boulevards lined with designer stores, but I prefer the smaller, privately owned stores where the shopkeepers tend to be more inclined to bend over backwards to fulfill your every request. Shops usually open at 10am close at 2pm and reopen from 5pm to 8pm.Visitors can reclaim the IVA (VAT) charged on all purchases except food, drink, motor vehicles, and medicines. Ask the store owner for the details. Boquerias, or markets, offer the freshest produce, meats and cheeses and don't miss out on bringing home some wonderful Spanish wine. Traditional handicrafts are often specific to the region of the country. Leather is usually of excellent quality and value. Guitars are amazingly well-crafted and can the quality to affordability ratios are excellent.

I was a "Woman on a mission." My mission was to find the sexiest, most sultry, pair of leather thigh-high Bootylicious a la Beyonce BOOTS!!I go on the hunt looking for boots and find THESE!I LOVE SPAIN!!! ;-)))
JUST KIDDING!!!!!! ;-))Goodness gracious! Some of my best memories of Spain were of the shopping there! Barcelona was my favorite.I was pre-warned about the ultra-chic style mavens that saturated the Barcelona scene, and I saw for myself how Barcelona is certainly among Europe's cities of style.It's a natural magnet for the fashion-conscious and there is no shortage of design outlets for even the most tireless consumer. The best shopping areas in central Barcelona are Passeig de Gracia and the streets to its southwest.......which includes the Boulevard Rosa arcade just north of Carrer d'Arago.For the bargain hunters, note that the winter sales in the Department stores officially start on or around 10 January. The summer sales start around 5 July. Just look for the signs that say:REBAAAAJAAAAAASSSS!!!The big department stores such as El Corte Ingles, and shopping complexes such as El...
