Spain’s 2026 Winter Sales Kick Off: Key Retailers’ Discount Dates Announced
Spain’s 2026 winter sales officially kick off on January 7th. This traditional shopping event marks the start of the post-holiday spending season, with many major retailers rolling out discounts. Consumers can enjoy price reductions on a wide variety of goods, including clothing and accessories.
Inditex Group Brands Schedule
For Inditex group brands like Zara, Pull&Bear, Bershka, and Stradivarius, the online sales on their official websites and apps will start first, on the afternoon or evening of January 6. On January 7, these brands will launch the sales in their physical stores as well. This online-first strategy has become a common practice in recent years, allowing customers to browse and select items in advance.
El Corte Inglés Start Time
The renowned Spanish department store, El Corte Inglés, sticks to tradition by starting its winter sales on January 7 simultaneously in its physical stores and on its online platform. The company’s discounts cover multiple sectors including fashion, home goods, and electronics, with the event lasting for several weeks. Some sources indicate that its online deals might begin on the evening of January 6.
Other Brands’ Sale Details
Brands like Mango and H&M will also start their sales between January 6 and 7. Mango typically launches its sales everywhere on January 7, while H&M may start online on January 6. Many retailers will offer initial discounts ranging from 20%-40%, with these percentages progressively increasing to even higher rates.
Duration and Scope of the Sales
The 2026 winter sales generally last until the end of February or early March, with the exact end date determined by each retailer. The discounted product categories include apparel, shoes, bags, beauty products, home goods, and even some electronics. Since Spain deregulated the sales periods in 2012, businesses have the flexibility to set their own schedules, but most still choose to start them unified after Three Kings’ Day.
