Shopping Standards in Spain

Spain is known not only for its beautiful and historical towns, and more and more sightseers find Spain a great place to shop. Plenty of establishments selling all types of goods can be found in major cities such as Barcelona, Madrid, Ibiza, and Mallorca, and you will undoubtedlyfind yourself shopping comfortably like you are home. Furthermore, not all Spaniards can speak various languages, however, you will not find it difficult communicating with their shop people for they are good English, German, French, and other languages speakers.

One thing to remember when shopping in Spain, stores open commonly at 10am, but could differ in other regions, but surely they close for the time-honored siesta at 2pm, and reopens at 5 in the afternoon until 8 or 9 pm. There are roomy shopping centers and hypermarkets that opens all day, but just about all the stores are closed every Sundays and holidays. On top of that, when paying for your supplies make sure it is not in cheque, for they do not accept it in Spain unlike the credit cards. You can as well convert first your money into euro, which is the commonly acceptable currency throughout the community and of course within Europe.
