Hello friends, I am starting a trip through some cities in Europe and I wanted to know if any of you know about electronics sales businesses for our DIY hobby, such as selling capacitors and resistors, even valves, etc. The cities that I am going to visit are Valencia, Madrid, Dublin, London and Edinburgh, any information is appreciated. In my country some spare parts/valves are quite difficult to find, and if they are available, sometimes it is at exaggerated prices. That's why I wanted to take this travel opportunity to take some things home. thank you very much friends
There is Cricklewood which AFAIK is a shop as well as an online shop, see - https://www.cricklewoodelectronics.com/Opening-Times-Address-Details-Delivery-Charges.html . Apart from that, I think that's it.
However, I'm happy to order parts from somewhere like Farnell, get it sent to my UK address, and then post it to your hotel or whatever. I've also got quite a few bits & bobs if there's anything you need, same arrangement.
Hope that helps, enjoy your trip in Europe, Andy

RS is in Watford, bit of a trek from central London. Unfortunately actual shops selling electronic components mostly died out in the late 80's in England.
I have a friend in Cuba, he has the same issue as the OP with added complications. I send him a care package a few times a year so can relate to the difficulty in obtaining parts.
What sort of stuff are you after? There's a couple of big warehouses that sell valves not far from London that do arranged visits, see - https://web211.secure-secure.co.uk/tube-and-valve-electronics.co.uk/visits.asp for one.
One aspect to be aware of is that if you buy anything in the UK, as we are no longer in the EU, you may get hassle off customs operatives.

RS do have a couple of trade counters in London (maybe elsewhere) where you can 'click & collect', assuming you have an account.
