Online shops in Spain

Even though most supermarkets offer online shopping, airlines and other transport services offer online booking and most Spanish banks offer electronic banking, the vast majority of Spaniards still tend to do the weekly shop at the supermarket, book their holidays at the local travel agent, and visit their bank to do transactions. Judging by the results of the recent WatchMouse survey, retailers in Spain still have a long way to go if they are to pursuade an Internet-reticent population to embrace online services.

Online shops in Spain

Whilst this may be the situation in mainland Spain, online ordering from supermarkets is still not available, to my knowledge (a real inconvenience, living in such a remote area) in the Canary Islands. I was also disappointed to discover yesterday that Al Campo in Los Realejos has even suspended their home delivery service due to lack of demand. It seems Canary Island shoppers too, still like to do their shopping the hard way. Stores still have a long way to go if they hope to impress those of us who have embraced the internet.
