Kayak is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Marks and Spencer

Hi,

Just looking at the M&S website, I see they charge a reasonable £7.50 charge for items to Spain.

However I was surprised to see how many M&S are in the Canary Islands...why?! I really wish they would have a few more in the mainland!

I've sent a email to [email protected] to beg for more!

They had one in Barcelona but it closed a few years back, lack of business.

They aren't really Marks & Spencer stores, just franchises!
I went to the one in Marbella not long after the opening and was very disappointed, there was nothing of interest and all of it over priced,I shall not be making a return visit!
I have found that the C&A stores here are much better for choice and for value.

Well it seems they are returning to France, so Spain could well be next.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-12931495

Marks and Spencer has announced it is to re-enter the French retail market, 10 years after shutting down all its European stores.

The company said it would open a 15,000 square foot store on the Champs-Elysées in Paris later this year.

M&S also said it was in talks with its partner SSP to launch a number of its Simply Food stores, under franchise, in Paris.

I just wish that M&S were like that here, in Marbella it's just very uninteresting clothes!

Yes, we were there when it opened, and never heard any great reports about it.

A great disappointment. Over priced everything.
