Get up to 21% back on El Corte Inglés in Europe with your VAT refund. 15 stores across 9 cities. Madrid flagship.
El Corte Inglés is Europe’s largest department store group and the third largest worldwide. Founded in Madrid in 1940 by Ramón Areces Rodríguez, the name “El Corte Inglés” (The English Cut) refers to a tailoring shop that previously occupied the site. What started as a single store has grown into a Spanish retail empire with locations across Spain and international presence in Portugal and the Middle East. El Corte Inglés pioneered customer-centric retail in Spain with generous return policies, fixed pricing, and exceptional service. The stores are multi-level shopping destinations offering fashion, beauty, electronics, gourmet food, and even cultural spaces with art exhibitions.
El Corte Inglés offers unmatched value for tourists with a unique 10% discount card PLUS up to 15.7% VAT refund—combine both for up to 25% total savings. Unlike most retailers, there's NO minimum spend for VAT refunds, making it ideal for collecting smaller purchases throughout your trip. The Tourist Discount Card works on fashion, accessories, perfumes, and cosmetics from the second purchase onwards. El Corte Inglés is a one-stop destination: buy Spanish leather goods, gourmet jamón, electronics, and fashion all under one roof with simplified tax refund processing.
