The Tourist Offices of Spain supply maps, brochures, and information circulars free of charge. Persons wishing further information may obtain additional guides and maps at retail stores or, in Spain, from local tourist offices. Two round prong plugs are used in all outlets. Standard American plugs will not fit into Spanish outlets. Adapters may be purchased at any hardware store.
Service is included.
The vendor must provide the purchaser with a duly filled out invoice, which includes the price of each good, the V.A.T. paid for each item, as well as the identification for both vendor and purchaser. The goods must be brought out of the European Union within three months from the date of purchase. The Customs Officer will stamp the original copy, which should be turned in at a bank in the airport for the reimbursement. This must be done before leaving Spain. You may also find it convenient to reclaim your tax through Global Refund Tax Free Shopping, a service offered by major retailers worldwide.
