Re: electrical goods in Spain
That depends where you buy them! I have seen prices cheaper in Spain - you just need to spend time looking for the best prices. In the Uk you know where to go for the best deals - its the same in Spain.
Why should they be cheaper in the UK? VAT is less in Spain and they all come from the far east anyway. The Spanish have less disposible income than the Brits - why are they not buying all their electrical goods in the UK if they are so cheap?
If you buy in the Uk your warranty will probabaly not be valid in Spain.

Our TV was reasonably priced from Boulanger. Audio-visual seems to be reasonable in this store
However, don't buy a microwave or a toaster from here!.

Our LCD TV was the same here as in the UK, at least the figures were the same, but, of course it was Euros here not pounds, and that is what you have to watch.
