Con la llegada del frío ¡se congelan los precios!

[caption id="attachment_4250" align="alignleft" width="300"] Fuente:http://www.skdualsim.com/[/caption] Estos días aún se puede comprar y salir sin notar la subida del IVA, y esto hay que aprovecharlo mientras las empresas que han anunciado que no trasladarán la subida de los impuestos al consumidor, sigan sin variar los precios.Si tienes que renovar tu armario pásate por cualquier empresa del grupo Inditex (Zara, Pull & Bear, Massimo Duttti, Bershka, Stradivarius y Oysho), del grupo Cortefiel (Springfield y Women'secret) y también por Blanco, Mango, Caramelo, H&M y Calzedonia. Llenar la nevera en Mercadona, Lidl y en La Sirena ayudará a ahorrar algún dinerito. Pero si lo que quieres es salir y disfrutar de los últimos días de sol, puedes comer en Pans&Company, 100 Montaditos, La Sureña y Llaollao además de ver la programación de las salas Marquina, Príncipe Gran Vía y Arenal. Y como los museos están exentos de este tributo visitar el Prado, el Reina Sofía y el Thyssen cuesta lo mismo que antes. PD: Los museos del Prado y el Reina Sofía mantienen varios horarios gratuitos.

No doubt Madrid is packed with dazzling events, pristine green spaces and world-renowned food but, like the refrain of Los Refrescos’ famous anthem reminds the millions of sweating Madrileños and red-faced visitors, ‘Aqui no hay playa‘.
