Don't wait until Saturday afternoon to do your shopping, because most shops are closed, except for the very touristy ones. Small shops are generally open from 10am to 2pm and from 5pm to 8pm (with a one-hour delay in summer). Department stores are open every day except Sunday, and sometimes until 10pm (holidays or sales).
In terms of clothing, all Spanish brands offer discounts of between 20 and 30% compared to France. Moreover, the models offered are often different from those presented in France. Take cash with you when shopping in small markets or grocery stores in small villages. If you have purchased a pass to visit a city, check if it gives you some discounts in some stores.
There are two official periods of " rebajas " sales: the winter sales begin on January 7 (January1 in Madrid) and last until March or early April. The summer sales begin on July1 and last until the end of September. However, each autonomous community decides on the actual dates. After a few years of getting off the ground, Black Friday has grown, with the same expansion movement as elsewhere to Cyber Monday a week later in many cities. And you can also get good deals during the mid-season " descuentos" , between March and June and between September and November.
For all things handicrafts, consider dropping by the handicraft centers found in many cities, with 100% local and well-sourced products. With pottery and ceramics, leather work, fans, jewelry and other products specific to the region. For everything from vegetables and fruit to cold cuts, it's best to go to the well-stocked markets. Often including small tasting points. And you won't leave without some of the local treasures: ham, chorizo, olive oil, wines, cheeses, turrón.
The stores "attract tourists" swarm in the vicinity of the most visited monuments. And are of course the triumph of made in china.
