Today is 5 years old of the opening of the first official Apple Store in Spain, yes, we are talking about the Apple Store in the La Maquinista shopping center and at that time all Apple lovers knew that that opening meant a before and after for us. It is also true that many users were surprised by the place chosen by Apple (a shopping center) but that Apple of the late Steve Jobs, had immediate future plans for Spain among which several significant stores were included and other stores more in shopping centers.
At the time of the opening of this store there was no other official Apple Store and it undoubtedly revolutionized all those users who wanted to have a nearby physical place where they could buy their products. At the time of opening the Apple Store of the Machinist it was the largest Apple store in southern Europe inside a shopping center.
At the time of entering the store after making the rigorous and long queue (which now they want or try to eliminate those of Cupertino) it was a before and after for many of us. The employees did not tire of applauding and cheering all of us who crossed that door, a historic moment. This store was followed by other Apple openings in Spain and we continue to hope and hope that Apple thinks of the cities that still do not have an official store, but it is becoming more complicated since all official resellers have all the products and perhaps no longer It is so necessary to open official stores for the company, and Apple has its sights set on China for reasons that we all know well.
The first store in our country has grown with us and is now 5 years old, ¡Felicidades!
