Top 10 Shopping Sites in Spain: The Ultimate Local Guide

Let’s be honest: trying to find specific items in Spain used to mean wandering through humid streets or dealing with erratic store hours. That era is over. Spain’s e-commerce sector has matured rapidly, offering logistics that now rival the US and UK.

But here is the catch: the biggest names globally aren’t always the best options locally. While giants like Amazon dominate, homegrown heroes like El Corte Inglés and niche experts like PC Componentes often offer better warranties, local support, or faster returns. If you are used to shopping in New York City, you might expect same day delivery everywhere, but in Spain, knowing where to click matters as much as what you buy.

We analyzed the data, verified the shipping times, and curated this list of the top 10 shopping sites in Spain that you actually need to know.

The 10 Best Shopping Sites in Spain

1. Amazon Spain (The undisputed King)

There is no close second. As of late 2025, Amazon.es commands nearly 200 million monthly visits and holds over 15% of the total organic traffic for e-commerce in the country. If you need it tomorrow, this is usually your only choice.

The Practitioner’s Tip: Amazon Prime in Spain is significantly cheaper than in the US or UK and includes Prime Video. Also, look out for “Amazon Lockers” (taquillas) which are now ubiquitous in Spanish petrol stations and supermarketsperfect if your apartment lacks a concierge (portero).

2. El Corte Inglés (The Premium Standard)

El Corte Inglés is more than a store; it is a Spanish institution. Founded in 1890, it remains the go-to for high-end fashion, electronics, and gourmet food. While they have streamlined their physical footprintoperating around 75 large department stores as of late 2025—their online presence is robust, ranking second only to Amazon.

Why shop here? Trust. Their return policy is legendary. If you are buying an expensive appliance or a designer suit, the after sales service here is superior to almost any marketplace. They also serve Portugal with major centers in Lisbon and Gaia.

3. eBay Spain (The Collector’s Hub)

eBay remains a relevant player for specific niches. While it doesn’t have the volume of Amazon, it connects Spanish buyers with a global network of sellers. It is particularly useful in Spain for:

• Second-hand electronics and spare parts.
• Hard to-find collectibles.
• Direct purchases from German or UK sellers who ship to Spain.

4. AliExpress Spain (The Budget King)

With approximately 30 million monthly visits, AliExpress is the third most popular e-commerce site in the country. Spain is one of AliExpress’s top global markets, which means shipping times are faster here than in many other countries, thanks to local warehouses (AliExpress Plaza).

The Strategy: Use this for phone cases, cables, and small gadgets where you can wait 3 to 10 days. For a deep dive on how to navigate customs and shipping, read our ultimate guide to Aliexpress Spain.

5. MediaMarkt Spain (Electronics & Appliances)

Forget the misconception that Best Buy rules the worldthey exited Europe years ago. Here, MediaMarkt is the heavyweight champion of electronics retail. Part of the massive MediaMarktSaturn Retail Group, they are the #1 specialized consumer electronics retailer in Europe.

They operate extensively in Spain (and not in the US, contrary to old rumors). Their “Click & Collect” service is excellentyou can buy online and pick it up at one of their many Spanish locations within 2 hours, avoiding delivery anxiety entirely.

6. Carrefour Spain (Groceries & Home)

With a global network of over 15,000 stores as of late 2025, Carrefour is a French powerhouse deeply embedded in Spanish culture. While primarily a hypermarket for groceries, their online site is a hidden gem for high ticket items like televisions, laptops, and patio furniture.

Insider Tip: Get the “Club Carrefour” card. The points accumulate into “Chequeahorro” vouchers that can significantly subsidize your grocery bill. It works seamlessly with their online orders.

7. Decathlon (The Sports Authority)

If you walk down any street in Spain, you will see someone wearing a Quechua jacket or carrying a Kalenji backpack. Decathlon has effectively democratized sports gear in Spain. It is affordable, durable, and covers every sport from Padel (Spain’s obsession) to hiking.

Their online stock check is highly accurate, allowing you to see exactly which aisle your item is in if you decide to visit the physical store.

8. PC Componentes (The Tech Expert)

Let’s correct a common myth: PC Componentes is 100% Spanish, founded in Alhama de Murcia, not France. They are the absolute best choice for serious tech enthusiasts.

Why choose them over Amazon? Two reasons:

• The Configurator: Their custom PC builder tool is the industry standard.
• The Service: Their customer support for technical issues is vastly superior to generalist retailers.

While they operate a massive online logistics hub, they maintain a select physical presence with stores in Murcia, Madrid, and Barcelona (moving to Calle Balmes in early 2026).

9. Zalando (Fashion Forward)

Zalando has conquered the European fashion market by solving the biggest headache of online clothes shopping: returns. They offer a vast selection of brands that rivals shopping for clothes in Germany, from high street to premium labels.

Previously backed by Kinnevik, the company is now largely owned by institutional investors and Anders Holch Povlsen. Their user interface is slick, and their “try first, pay later” options make them a favorite for Spanish fashionistas who want to turn their living room into a fitting room.

10. Fnac Spain (Culture & Tech)

Fnac is the cultural heartbeat of retail. While they sell laptops and phones, they excel in books, vinyl, gaming, and photography. If you are looking for a specific Manga edition or a rare vinyl record alongside your new iPad, this is the place.

The Membership: If you plan to buy big ticket tech items, the Fnac membership card usually offers a direct discount (often 5%) and accumulates points, paying for itself very quickly.
