Where We Get The Things We Need

So, you've just arrived in Spain—welcome! Now comes the big question: where do you actually get the stuff you need to live? In this episode, we’re talking beds, coffee makers, towels, and all the random things you suddenly realize you don’t have.

We’ll guide you through the typical options for setting up your life here, from department stores to big box retailers. Need tools or home improvement supplies? We'll talk about Spain’s version of Home Depot. Also what is the local equivalent to Walmart? And of course, we can't leave out the neighborhood Chinese shops and local bazaars—those magical places where you can find a mop, a rice cooker, a phone charger, and a Halloween costume all in one trip.

Whether you’ve just landed or you're finally ready to stop sleeping on an air mattress, this episode will help you navigate Spain’s shopping landscape and get your home in order.
