Madrid; Apple La Vaguada; Apple Store; opens November 28

Apple has announced the opening of Apple La Vaguada, in north Madrid, marking the city's fifth store and its first in ten years.

Just over a decade on from the opening of its Apple Puerto del Sol store, Apple is adding a new retail location around 10 miles away. The new store is located on the top floor of Madrid's La Vaguada Shopping Center, on the Avenue de Monforte de Lemos.

Apple revealed the store with a new Apple Store webpage for it, which says it will open on Friday, November 28, 2024. "Let's do cool things," says the new store page, in translation.

"Our new store in La Vaguada is almost ready," it continues. "We really want to welcome you and help you make your coolest ideas come true."

Apple has also launched a dedicated page for exploring the music and culture of the city. It says that the page has a "selection of the best content and entertainment to celebrate the launch of our new store in Madrid."

Alongside that, the store is also offering custom wallpaper. Nicely, the version you get when you download it depends on whether you used a Mac or an iPhone.

The opening of this store appears to have been smoother than that for the prestigious Apple Puerto del Sol. Ahead of its 2014 opening, building work was delayed when the remains of a 15th-century hospital were discovered during construction.
