Hi everyone..

I am residing down in Mallorca for the summer and with limited access to electronics shops out here thought I'd ask here for some suggestions.

Back home is New Zealand there are many online PC and electronics shops as well as price comparason sites such as pricespy.co.nz

I assume there must be the same sort of thing in Spain.

Specifically, Id like to purchase things like, computer cables, memory storage for digital cameras and some ipod speakers.

Thanks so much for your help!

I am afraid I usually do my best to shop around locally and put business through local computer shops - then compare the price even including delivery from Amazon or Dabs in the UK, and end up getting stuff shipped!

Even eBay...

Not only can I reply to this thread, but in the process actually found the answers to all my current HiFi Choices. I've been looking for someone to ship to Spain regarding items of upper spec 7.1 Receivers / Speakers etc.

So, what I did was goto What HiFi online and looked into their Dealer Section.
Low and behold I found a British Company which states it ships anywhere in the World ! This information was not easy to find as I simply opened about 50 links and looked at everyones Delivery Protocols (thank me later)

Dont know about price comparison sites but for computer parts via the net I use

You could also try Carrefour on the outskirts of Palma for in-person shopping.
Certainly our local Carrefour carries most of the stuff you are looking for.
