Spain’s luxury department store El Corte Ingles has decked up its Madrid store with lanterns and painitings reflecting Ramadan and the advent of Eid al Fitr. “Ramadan Kareem” and “Eid Mubarak” signs welcome Middle Eastern shoppers to the store. But that is not all. Special Eid discounts are also being offered.
Spain has a special attraction for tourists from the Middle East because Cordoba in southern Spain was the capital of Islamic Europe. The AlHambra Palace in Granada and the Mosque turned Cathedral of Cordoba are examples of Islamic architecture that draw tourists from the Muslim world.
To cater to the dietary needs of their Muslim guests, the Madrid El Corte Ingles store also has a wide selection of Halal dishes on offer. Discounted prices, Eid decor and Halal food – what more do you need to entice you to spend Eid in Madrid?
