But Spain is relatively undeveloped as a photo market, and what there is, is expensive. I bought my M8 from Ffordes in Scotland, if I remember correctly, Lluis got his abroad also. Even in the nearest big city, Valencia, 1.5 hours away, and with over 1 million inhabitants, there is no dedicated Leica dealer.
