Hello,
I'm going to Spain soon. Do you know good dealers with full inventory there?
Thank you,
VictorL

Victor, If you know what areas you'll be in, you can check the Festool Spain website. http://www.festool.es/Distribuidores/Pages/Search.aspxUnder services, choose shop-in-shop and you'll find the dealers with the largest inventories and displays in store. If you're using Google Chrome for a browser, it'll offer to translate the page(s) for you. Shane |

Thanks Shane. I spent few hours yesterday on this site. Spain's site shows hundred of dealers, but unlike USA, many dealers sell supplies for automotive and paint industry only (sanders and sandpaper). Most dealers have tiny stores and fullfill pre-orders only. Many dealers posted pictures of their stores, so I know what to expect. I'm looking for store like Ace tools or Tool Nuts with full Festool assortment.

Victor, I've been to Spain many times. Trust me, the architecture is much better to look at than any Festool display  |

I live in Spain ... and not find any store like your comment,
here usually have a machine on display but not the entire range, plus the prices are more expensive in Europe not in USA.

I'd go to Spain for a lot of things, but not to buy Festool  |

It was very pleasant trip even without Festool shopping.  |

While in Spain I never get tired of viewing Antoni Gaudi's architecture, in Barcelona you could get into guided tours of the interiors of some of his buildings. Oh yes and there's that big Cathedral.  There's a great Architectural Bookstore in the center of Barcelona (the old quarter), I forget the name - it's downstairs within some Architectural Association of Architects I believe. http://www.red2000.com/spain/barcelon/phgau.html |

Love Barcelona, been 4 times now & will return as there is still more of Gaudies stuff I have not visited. The Sagrila Famillia is quite something but my favourite of his is La Pedra Casa Mila, the apartment block. A walk on the paths on the roof is something else. Never seen chimney cans like that anywhere.
