If you need a wider selection or some power tools you can go to the local <strong>hardware stores<\/strong> <em>(ferreteria).<\/em> For specialty items like lighting <em>(luz)<\/em> or flooring <em>(pavimentos),<\/em> you may find one near you as well. You can try a quick Google search, yet your best bet is to ask a local or look around your neighborhood.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Department-Stores\"><\/span><strong>Department Stores<br \/>\n<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">If you\u2019d like a variety of <strong>hardware<\/strong> supplies, lighting supplies, power tools, furniture, and more you can try either <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/carrefour.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Carrefour<\/a><\/strong> or <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/hipercor.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">HiperCor<\/a>.<\/strong> These <strong>department stores<\/strong> also have sections for bedding and products for your car.
