Buying Soccer Jerseys in Spain.

I enjoy collecting authentic team soccer Jerseys in the cities I visit in Europe.
I would love to know where I might find a store in Pamplona, Madrid, San Sebastián, Bilbao or Burgos that sells official licensed products. I'll be in those cities in July.

Anyone?

Thank you.

The stores where they sell official products are usually located in the stadiums, each team has its own store and some of them sell through Internet.
Maybe it's possible to find some in other places but I really don't know.

if you google "tienda real madrid" etc.etc.. you will get some options.
otherwise, at your hotel they will be able to tell you EXACTLY where the shops are.

I know in Valencia there is a store dedicated to these items.
i assume every town has one .

good luck.

ciaony,

I haven't been to any of these towns/cities but I'm sure that lincasanova is right - they will all have sports stores which will stock the local club strip as well as those of the other major Spanish clubs.

A couple of points you might already be aware of, but just in case....

Firstly, whenever I have visited Spain there have always been plenty of fake strips on sale. Be careful that you are buying the real thing.

Secondly, at this time of year, now that the season is drawing to a close (today is the last day of the Primera Liga) many clubs will be bringing out updated strips for the new season. This can be because they have new shirt sponsors or have switched kit manufacturers, or simply as a marketing opportunity. Anyway, you will almost certainly find that the "old" shirts will be selling much cheaper than the normal price. This might suit you as you will be able to pick up a shirt at a bargain price but OTOH you might prefer to have the bang-up-to-date version. I have two teenage boys & they would regard wearing last season's shirt as being the ultimate sports fashion faux-pas!

Finally, do you know the "big" clubs in the places you are visiting?

Madrid: Real Madrid; Atletico Madrid.
Pamplona: Real Osasuna.
San Sebastian: Real Sociedad
Bilbao: Atletico Bilbao

Sorry - I don't know about Burgos!

Jim

Burgos is on the second B division (kind of third ). It's called Burgos Club de Futbol.

JJBhoy, muchas gracias!
I know next very little about the teams themselves. Your post is helpful.
