You can find discounts in nearly every store in the city during the sales period, but there are certain areas that offer some of the best offers. If you aren’t sure where to start with your shopping and want to see what you find, you can start by strolling through the center of the city. At Gran Vía, calle Princesa, Puerta del Sol and calle de Alcalá there’s a little something for everyone: big chain stores like Zara, H&M, Mango and Primark, warehouse stores like Fnac where you can buy books, music and and electronics, and of course El Corte Inglés which is famous for its winter discounts. If you want to buy more personalized and specific gifts away from the craziness of the chain stores, you can also find smaller stores in the city center that offer attractive discounts. If you are looking for more exclusive clothing items, the Salamanca neighborhood has a number of boutiques with items from the most well-known designers. While these stores are for those looking to do luxury shopping, they also offer major discounts during the sales month, so it may be the perfect time to buy a more expensive item on sale that you normally wouldn’t splurge on.
