Essential Spanish Vocabulary – Shopping
If you love to shop, then Spain is a must-visit destination. You can choose between large shopping centers that offer a wide variety of items and cute little shops where local designers exhibit their creativity. Spanish markets are well known around the world for their high-quality products and reasonable prices.
Make sure to hit the shopping circuit at the right time though; small, local shops tend to be closed during the typical siesta time, which includes lunch and a nap or a rest. Most stores lock their doors at 2pm and reopen around 5pm, so morning or evening is the best time to hit the streets.
