Spain for Seniors

THERE ARE UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCES TO BE ENJOYED IN SPAIN

CRAFTS Discovering local arts and crafts is an- other form of tourism and you'll be able to find a really special souvenir. Visit workshops and small factories and see the creators in action. Find incredible things like Toledo swords, traditional, hand-embroidered Manila shawls and wonderful pottery created in Seville's Triana neighbour- hood or in the old town in Manises (Valencia).

TAX FREE The advantages of shopping in Spain go beyond the quality and the varie- ty of products. If you live outside the European Union, you can claim a re- fund on VAT. All you need to do is show your pass- port and ask for a Tax Free invoice in the shop. You'll need to show your pur- chases and have the invoices stamped at customs (the stamp is valid for three months from the date of purchase), then request the refund amount from the managing company. They all have refund points at the main Spanish air- ports and borders. You can also ask for the VAT refund to be made to your credit card, by bank transfer, or by in- ternational bank draft.
