I don't know about burning, but there is a big department store here (El 
Corte Inglés) that does sell CDs and DVDs and BlueRays (and vinyls). 
They don't stock much, though, so whatever you want you have to ask for 
it and wait some days.

I had a conversation with someone, and I said that I was watching Star 
Trek Lower Decks S1, when it suddenly disappeared from Amazon Prime 
Video. He replied "that the reason I prefer solid media to streaming". 
Of course, there are torrents.
