'Buy Zara clothes at a fraction of the cost, and get a flight...' discussion

I found Pandora charms cost the same in euro as we pay in GBP over there.

Zara in Portugal only gets a tiny mention in the article on MSE but the same prices apply there as in Spain. Factor in the lower cost for food etc when on holidays compared to Spain (lower cost of living and lower wages in Portugal) and you might be able to save even more by heading to Zara in Portugal. The Zara Portugal website is available in English as well as Portuguese for anyone wanting to do a quick search.

will often not have anything in 'normal' UK sizes. Their 'XL' is a 16 and skimpy at that: many years of undernourishment has made for narrower frames!

What an incredibly awful and ignorant remark!
The availability of big sizes has got more to do with the fact that women in continental Europe eat properly and have healthy sizes, unlike the 'fat brits' where apparently the average now is a 16!!!
Nothing to do with "undernourishment" - or maybe you call 'undernourishment' not being constantly snacking on fast food *roll eyes*

Mango is the same as Zara. Just purchased a leather jacket in Tenerife for £60 less than it would have cost me in the UK

Just in case anyone is planning a trip to Palma de Mallorca with the intention of stocking up at Zara, the store was being refurbished when we were there on 5th May. No sign indicating when the store would reopen.

I would recommend this after very poor service from online shopping.
Skirt ordered on 11th June for holiday on 18th, no skirt before holiday but saw item for sale at a cheaper price in Genoa.
Contacted Zara on return as still no email to say skirt ready to collect. Advice was that shop had been too busy due to sale to send me an email.
requested refund and this was agreed but more than a week later still waiting- further complaint made.

If you're going to Spain forget buying Zara online, or in the department stores. Go to the markets and look for the 2 for 5 Euro's stalls they are packed full of Zara clothes, Okay, they are seconds but so what!. I spend part of the year here in Spain and regularly buy them cut price. For clothes here it is even worth buying a suitcase also from the market or one of the many Chinese shops and paying the return charge, or posting it.

2022 in May,  I purchased a Ladies Blazer at full price for £42.  my others were bought from the Uk are exactly the same cut, but in different colours, were £60 🙌🏻

And I bought several items of Zara clothing in Kuala Lumpur for less than the £ price in the UK at the time I purchased them. Just because it has the same name above the door doesn't mean it's the same price the world over. Different countries, different operating costs, different prices. A Big Mac varies in price all over the world. (Which incidentally were considerably cheaper in Malaysia than they were in the UK).

I can't see many people flocking to Barcelona to save £18 though.
