Black Friday 2026 is on Friday 27 November, and in Madrid the whole weekend counts: shops in the region may open on Sundays and holidays whenever they like, so on Sunday 29 the big department stores, malls and outlets all open. The city-centre department store, El Corte Inglés on Preciados, opens 10:00 to 22:00 on Friday and Saturday and 11:00 to 21:00 on Sunday. Las Rozas Village, the luxury outlet 30 minutes from Moncloa by bus, runs its own campaign from 19 to 30 November and stays open until 22:00 on Saturday.
Where should I shop on Black Friday in Madrid? For electronics, the Preciados and Callao area in the centre, with El Corte Inglés and MediaMarkt a short walk apart. For designer labels at outlet prices, Las Rozas Village, by bus 625, 628 or 629 from Moncloa. For sportswear, the The Style Outlets centres. Non-EU residents can claim back VAT if they ask for the form when paying.
- Date: Friday 27 November 2026.
- Sunday 29: the centres in this guide open at 10:00 or 11:00.
- Tax free: ask at the till, validate when leaving the EU.
- Returns in store: only if the shop’s policy allows it.
What can I do on foot from the centre?
If you are staying around Sol or Gran Vía, start there. El Corte Inglés spreads over several buildings, with the main one at Preciados 3 and others on Callao 2 and Puerta del Sol 10, and MediaMarkt is at Plaza del Carmen 2, between the two. Both open 10:00 to 22:00 on Friday and Saturday and 11:00 to 21:00 on Sunday. Metro stations: Sol (lines 1, 2 and 3) and Callao (lines 3 and 5); a single ticket within zone A costs 1.50 to 2.00 euros depending on the trip.
This is the place to compare the same phone or laptop in two shops without taking a bus. For high-street fashion, Primark is at Gran Vía 32.
Is Las Rozas Village worth the trip on Black Friday?
It is if you are after the labels it carries: Gucci, Prada, LOEWE, Burberry, BOSS and Sandro are among its boutiques, among others. Its campaign runs from 19 to 30 November; the shops sell at outlet prices all year, and each boutique decides whether it takes part, what it marks down and on what terms.
Getting there: buses 625, 628 and 629 leave the Moncloa interchange and stop opposite the entrance; the Village puts the ride at about 30 minutes. Intercity buses cost 3 euros for a single, paid on board. Parking is free if you drive. The detailed route is in how to get to Las Rozas Village.
Where do I go for sportswear?
The three The Style Outlets centres, in Las Rozas, Getafe and San Sebastián de los Reyes, all open 10:00 to 22:00 every day of the weekend. Adidas and Asics are in all three; Nike is in Las Rozas and Getafe but not in San Sebastián de los Reyes. The Las Rozas one, on Avenida del Noroeste, is a different centre from the Village.
Without a car, San Sebastián de los Reyes is the easiest: bus 152C from Plaza de Castilla takes about 35 minutes. See The Style Outlets in San Sebastián de los Reyes.
Which centres stay open latest on Sunday?
| Centre | Sunday 29 November |
|---|---|
| Plaza Río 2, Islazul, Xanadú | 10:00-22:00 |
| The Style Outlets, all three | 10:00-22:00 |
| Las Rozas Village | 10:00-21:00 |
| El Corte Inglés Preciados, MediaMarkt | 11:00-21:00 |
| La Vaguada, Plaza Norte 2 | 11:00-21:00 |
Restaurants and cinemas inside the centres keep later hours. One catch at Xanadú: its shops close at 22:00 on Sunday, and the last 534 bus back to Madrid leaves at the same time, so you cannot shop until closing and still catch it. With roadworks on the A5, the 534 runs from Cuatro Vientos, on Metro line 10, not Príncipe Pío. On Friday 27 the last bus back leaves at 23:20, and on Saturday 28 at 23:00.
How does tax-free shopping work?
If you live outside the European Union, you can claim back the VAT on goods you take home. At the till, show your passport and proof of residence and ask for the invoice and the electronic refund form, called the DER. Take the goods with you and validate the form when you leave the EU, within the three months following the month of purchase.
Spanish law sets no minimum spend, but some refund services do: the one at The Style Outlets in San Sebastián de los Reyes asks for 70.01 euros on one receipt. That is a condition of its service: if you meet the legal requirements, the shop still has to issue the form. For goods at the general 21 % rate, the refund is smaller than the rate suggests, because VAT is already inside the price: a 100 euro purchase holds 17.36 euros of VAT, 200 euros holds 34.71 euros and 500 euros holds 86.78 euros, before the refund operator takes its fee.
The full process, airports included, is in tax-free shopping in Madrid.
Is the discount genuine?
Any shop advertising a price cut in Spain must show, next to it, the lowest price it charged for the same item in the previous 30 days. Compare with that figure rather than the crossed-out one, and check it is exactly the same model, size or storage.
What if I want to return something after I fly home?
Plan for it before paying. A shop is not obliged to take back an item that is not faulty, so ask three things at the till: whether it refunds or gives store credit, how many days you have, and whether it accepts returns by post from abroad and who pays the postage.
Online orders can be cancelled within 14 days of delivery, with exceptions such as personalised items, and you then have another 14 days to send the item back; the return postage can be yours if the seller told you so. If a new item turns out faulty, the 3-year legal guarantee, sale items included, entitles you to a repair or replacement; second-hand goods carry at least 1 year. Keep the receipt.
What might disappoint
Not every brand joins Black Friday, so a shop being open does not mean it has offers. At the Village, each boutique decides whether to add a Black Friday markdown, so there is no store-wide extra discount. And if you shop late at Xanadú on Sunday, there is no bus back.
Before you go
For the rest of the year’s Sunday trading, see which shops are open on Sunday in Madrid. For the north of the city, Plaza Norte 2; on Sunday morning, El Rastro. From late November, add the Christmas lights route and the Christmas markets.
Black Friday in Madrid, questions
When is Black Friday 2026 in Madrid?
Friday 27 November 2026. Shops can open on Saturday 28 and Sunday 29 too, and Cyber Monday follows on 30 November. Las Rozas Village runs its Black Friday campaign from 19 to 30 November.
Are shops open on Sunday in Madrid over Black Friday weekend?
Yes, they can be. The Madrid region lets every shop choose its Sunday hours. On Sunday 29 November, El Corte Inglés on Preciados opens 11:00 to 21:00, Las Rozas Village 10:00 to 21:00, and Plaza Río 2 and the three The Style Outlets 10:00 to 22:00.
Can tourists get a tax refund on Black Friday purchases in Madrid?
If you live outside the European Union, yes. Ask for the invoice and the electronic refund form when you pay, take the goods with you, and validate the form when you leave the EU within three months of the month of purchase. Spanish law sets no minimum spend, but some refund services do.
Is Black Friday a public holiday in Madrid?
No. Friday 27 November 2026 is an ordinary working day in Madrid, and so is Cyber Monday on 30 November. The next regional holidays are 7 and 8 December.
Can I return something I bought in a Madrid shop?
If you simply change your mind, only when the shop’s own policy allows it, so ask before paying. Online purchases can be cancelled within 14 calendar days of delivery, with exceptions. Faulty new goods are covered by a three-year legal guarantee, sale items included, which gives you a repair or replacement.
Shop the centre on foot, take the bus to the Village, and ask for the tax-free form at the till.
