Shopping in Spain has evolved rapidly over the past 25 years with large department stores opening branches in provincial capitals across the nation. Many smaller cities also have outlets for major brand name clothing and other products.

Of special note to the foreign market is that many international names ship products directly to your home address in Spain. Thanks to Internet, this practice is becoming more widely practiced making it easier than ever to obtain books in English, familiar brands of clothing in easy to understand sizes, favourite food items and even electrical goods, appliances, and home building and decoration materials, for example.

Stores like Marks and Spencers, famous for their lingerie, quality school uniforms and easy to iron work shirts, can now be accessed by the click of a mouse. Books are delivered to European destinations by Amazon.co.uk as well as international bookstores located within Spain.
