To understand or get to know about shopping in Spain all depends very much on which part of the country you are in. Given the different demographics of the cities in Spain, shopping is more or less the same like most European countries. Busy department stores offer all kinds of goods. The shops in the big cities will also be well used to tourists and many will be able to speak English, French, German and a few other languages.

Opening times

Although the opening hours can vary considerably between regions, shops generally open at 10am and close at 2pm for siesta, reopening between 5pm to 9pm.
The big stores including department stores will stay open all day and close 10pm... Most stores are closed on Sunday and on fiesta days.

Payments

Most of the major credit cards are widely accepted in Spain. Cheques are not. You could also pay by cash. When you withdraw money from the bank, ask for small notes, don´t let them give you 500 euro notes as most shops refuse to accept them. If you’re visitor, you can claim back the IVA (VAT) added to all purchases except food, drink, motor vehicles, and medicines.
