Shops, shopping Spanish style and opening hours – WIS014

Let’s hit the shops! Need a stamp? Run out of milk and everything’s closed? Fancy some churros?

I’ll take a look at Spain’s traditional shops, run through their names and admire how they continue to survive in the face of the big supermarket chains.

I’ll also talk about how to navigate Spain’s sometimes frustrating opening hours and look at restaurants and bars if you’re starving and it’s only 5pm!

WHAT IS WHEN IN SPAIN?

The When in Spain show is a weekly podcast show, recorded in Madrid (and other parts of Spain) where l talk about my ‘warts and all’ observations and insights on life and culture on the Iberian peninsular.

In each episode of the podcast I cast an eye on everyday life, people, places, politics, culture and history and attempt to give an honest opinion from a Brit who has a love-frustration relationship with Spain. I shall attempt to dispel or indeed confirm Spanish stereotypes through my ramblings and see if I can delve into the Spanish psyche.
