Overview
- Retailers have opened summer rebajas in physical stores and online, with major chains and fashion outlets publishing curated discounted items since June 25.
- The Organización de Consumidores y Usuarios (OCU) published a consumer decálogo warning that discounts do not reduce legal protections and urging shoppers to check prices, receipts and return rules.
- The OCU reminded buyers that new products carry a three-year legal warranty and that online purchases have a 14-day right of withdrawal for refunds without justification.
- A Retail Media Webloyalty report forecasts average online spending of about €270 per shopper, roughly 3% higher than in 2025, which could push more traffic to e-commerce during the sales.
- OCU survey ratings name Cortefiel, El Corte Inglés, Massimo Dutti, Springfield and Mango as top stores for clothing and Camper, El Corte Inglés, Pikolinos and Skechers for footwear, and experts advise buying versatile basics and planning purchases to avoid impulse spending.
