Ordering from Amazon in recent years, I’ve felt that the delivery speed has become increasingly impressive. For Prime members, it’s basically next-day delivery, and sometimes even same-day delivery, which is incredibly convenient. Driven by curiosity, I looked into Amazon’s presence in Spain and discovered they have already built so many logistics centers across the country. No wonder their efficiency is so high. Today, let’s take a look and see where these huge warehouses are located.
Amazon’s Main Logistics Centers in Spain
Amazon’s expansion has been incredibly fast. Starting with its first logistics center in San Fernando de Henares, on the outskirts of Madrid, it has now spread to multiple autonomous communities in Spain. These warehouses not only process orders for us, the regular consumers, but also provide storage and delivery services for third-party sellers using the FBA (Fulfillment by Amazon)
service.
Below, I’ve compiled a non-exhaustive list of some of the more important and well-known Amazon logistics centers. You can learn more about Amazon return warehouses; it’s very likely that the packages you usually receive are shipped from these locations, which you can identify by their Amazon warehouse codes.
| City/Region | Warehouse Code | Main Function |
|---|
| San Fernando de Henares | MAD4 | First large logistics center |
| Getafe | MAD8 | Large-scale storage and distribution |
| Illescas | MAD6 | Robotic and automated warehouse |
| El Prat de Llobregat | BCN1 | Mainly serves the Catalonia region |
| Martorelles | BCN2 | Also an important hub |
| Dos Hermanas | SVQ1 | Serves Andalusia and the southern region |
| Alcalá de Henares | MAD9 | Newer logistics facility |
| Siero | OVD1 | Covers northern Spain |
Besides these large fulfillment centers, Amazon has also established many smaller Amazon Logistics delivery stations in major cities like Madrid, Barcelona, and Valencia. These stations are primarily responsible for ‘last-mile’ delivery, which means getting the packages from the regional centers to our doorsteps. It’s thanks to this dense network of stations, identifiable by their [Amazon warehouse codes], that fast or even same-day delivery is possible. Have you noticed Amazon’s small vans or delivery personnel frequently appearing in your neighborhood? There’s probably a delivery station nearby

Knowing the locations of these warehouses is actually quite interesting. On one hand, it gives us insight into how this e-commerce giant operates. On the other hand, seeing the shipping location can help you estimate the package’s route and delivery time. For example, since I live in Madrid, seeing a package shipped from MAD4 or MAD8 reassures me that it will arrive soon. Have you ever paid attention to your package’s shipping information?
