Having just moved to Spain, I find that while in-store shopping is fun, online shopping is often more convenient, especially for bulky items or things that are hard to find. After some research, I discovered that Amazon Spain is a real treasure trove—it has almost everything, and delivery is super fast with a Prime membership. Today, I’m sharing some of the great things I’ve recently bought and my thoughts, hoping to help other newcomers.
Home Appliances
The hard water here can be a real headache, and I felt like my hair loss was getting worse. So, the first thing I bought on [Amazon Spain] was a Brita water filter pitcher. Using filtered water for boiling and cooking has noticeably reduced limescale, and it tastes much better. Also, the brand Cecotec offers amazing value for money. I got a handheld vacuum cleaner from them, which is a lifesaver for picking up hair and dust—so much better than a broom, and it wasn’t expensive. If you get cold in the winter, an electric heater is also a must-have.
Food and Kitchen Supplies
When it comes to food, you can find many Asian seasonings on Amazon, like Lee Kum Kee’s oyster sauce and soy sauce. They might be a bit pricier than at an Asian supermarket, but the convenience is worth it. I also love buying all sorts of coffee capsules on Amazon; the selection is much wider than in supermarkets, and there are frequent sales. Another great buy is rice. Getting a large 10kg bag is more economical than buying from the store, and it gets delivered right to your door—no more lugging it home yourself! By the way, I highly recommend kitchenware from Lékué, a Spanish brand. Their silicone kitchen tools are well-designed and very practical.
Personal Care and Beauty
Parapharmacy products are definitely a highlight on Amazon Spain! Brands like ISDIN, La Roche-Posay, and Sesderma often have great discounts, making them cheaper than in physical pharmacies. I’ve stocked up on ISDIN sunscreen, as the sun here is incredibly strong. You can also find popular brands from the UK or the US, like The Ordinary, with fast shipping. Oh, and I recommend buying electric toothbrushes and replacement heads on Amazon, especially during Black Friday or Prime Day when the deals are fantastic.
