Spain’s twice-yearly Madrid sales rebajas seasons offer 30-70% discounts across virtually every retailer — winter rebajas (January 7 – February 28 typically) and summer rebajas (July 1 – August 31). Combined with Black Friday (November 27, 2026) and Cyber Monday (November 30), these are the cheapest shopping windows of the year. Major Spanish brands (Zara, Mango, Massimo Dutti, Bershka, Stradivarius) launch their official rebajas on January 6 online and January 7 in physical stores; international brands and El Corte Inglés follow the same calendar. This guide covers Madrid sales rebajas dates, which stores discount what, sale strategy, and how to combine rebajas with tax-free shopping for maximum savings.
