Madrid: Shop sales in January, from markets to boutiques
Spain has a post-holiday tradition that goes way beyond Black Friday. Each year the country conducts an entire month of January sales, or rebajas, that make winter a good time to visit. Illinois-based Tourcrafters offers a four-night Madrid shopping trip through the end of the month that starts at $485 per person.
On this tour, bargain hunters have free time to check out the Mercado de San Miguel food market, the Rastro antique flea market and El Corte Ingles department store while enjoying tapas and wine-tastings along the way.
Dates: The five day/four-night tour is offered for travel through Jan. 31.
Price: $485 per person, based on double occupancy (this tour is offered in February and March for a higher price). It includes four nights at the Vincci Soho hotel, daily breakfast, a two-hour wine and tapas tour and two wine-and-tapas meals. International airfare is extra.
Tested: Basically, you pick the dates you’ll be in Madrid and make a reservation with the company or a travel agent. A Tourcrafters spokeswoman says departure dates are available throughout the month.
