I called into my nearest branches of Zara and Mango yesterday, thinking that in the light of all the recent comments on here, things might have improved.

I looked at a shift dress in Zara - the fabric was 'bunched' along the seams meaning that they would not lie flat and the dress would look lumpy when worn. A three-quarter length coat in Mango was made of fabric so stiff and rough that it could have been used as roofing felt. I didn't even bother to look at the prices, even if they'd been 1€ each I wouldn't have bought them.

Personally I would stock up on underwear, although with M & S and other stores delivering to Spain now its not the problem it was. I can't find a bra in my size here in Spain but even if I could they do seem to be more expensive than in the UK.
