i couldn't agree more! Shopping in Spain was fantastic. I was in Barcelona and stayed around the Plaza catalunya area and you couldn't walk 50 min before coming across a Zara or a Mango store. Aside from these two franchises, there were excellent retail stores like Pimkie and i must say spanish people have excellent style. I was disppointed that i was in madrid on a sunday where all stores were closed so i couldn't go on a spree again but hey i was going on to paris after that so it was ok.
