Hello, thefifer-ga!
I have been searching off and on over the past week for links to
trade magazines in Spain. Since I do not read Spanish, the search has
been amusing at times! However, I am assuming you have some
proficiency in Spanish, or have an associate who does, to have
requested a list of Spanish trade magazines!
I have found one very comprehensive site which will give you a
thorough compilation of information and trade publications available
for the retail industries which interest you. The website, which is
available only in Spanish, is at http://www.guiame.net/ . Before you
head to the website, you might want to read a detailed explanation (in
English!) of the website and the information it can provide.
Information about Guiame!, which is described as a “One Stop Shop for
Business Information About Spain”, can be read in a PDF file at
http://www.infonomics.net/cornella/aguiaeng.pdf . The article is very
thorough, with explanations about how to perform searches, and
pictures of the actual web pages which are produced during a sample
search.
“The main advantage of Guiame! is that it is not limited to
information only available through the internet, but contains links to
information not yet available online, such as addresses of trade
associations, as well as articles published in Spanish trade
journals.”
Business Information Map:
“This give addresses (postal address, telephone and fax numbers,
e-mail and home page addresses if available) of sources of business
information, among them public agencies, employers and industrial
associations, trade publications, yearbooks and other directories,
market and industry reports, trade fairs and shows, specialized
information centers, statistical sources, databases, etc. Over 5,000
sources of business information are currently listed in Guiame!
business map database.”
The search site is invaluable for comprehensive information on
Spanish businesses, publications, industry overviews, books, and
recent articles. I don’t think you can find anything that will address
your needs as well.
Aside from this one resource, my searches have come up void. There
are lists and links to Spanish magazines in general, but not to
anything regarding retail trade magazines. Therefore, I think the
Guiame! is your best resource. If you can translate into Spanish, you
should have no problem!
