If you’re looking to bring gifts for friends and family, silver glass bracelets, glassware, porcelain items, pearls, etc., are all excellent choices. Collectors will also find a wide range of items such as furniture, artworks, porcelain pottery, carvings, and jewelry.
Compared to other European capital cities, goods in Spain are priced more competitively.
Globalization has brought many international brands into the high-end financial districts of major Spanish cities. These brands attract tourists from around the world with prices that are more appealing than those in other European tourist cities.
When compared to France, Italy or Germany, Spain offers the highest shopping tax refund rate. In Europe, purchases require payment of Value Added Tax (VAT) (referred to as IVA in Spain). Spain’s VAT rate is 21%. The price of goods includes VAT and all non-European residents are eligible for a tax refund. Consequently, an increasing number of tourists are drawn here.
In addition to a diverse range of products, Madrid allows shops to open freely on Sundays and holidays. This means you can shop at any time without worry. As of 2012, Madrid is the only city in Spain that permits unrestricted opening on holidays throughout the year.
In Madrid, promotions aren’t limited to festivals; there are discounts and special offers all year round.
To enhance tourists’ cost-effective shopping experiences, the Madrid community and the official Chamber of Commerce have upgraded the “Madrid Shops and Tax-Free” app.
With a redesigned interface that improves user experience and adds new features, this app is now available in four languages (Spanish, English, Chinese, and Japanese). Tourists can find everything they need for a premium shopping experience in Madrid.
Besides quick tax refunds, users can easily explore Madrid’s tourism and shopping routes. The app also includes a directory of over 700 stores and information on major events.
Madrid is not just an essential stop for all fashion enthusiasts on their international shopping tours; it’s also a seven-star shopping haven with convenient shopping freedom and easy tax refunds. Visit Madrid to embark on your star-studded shopping journey!
