There's a parking garage below as well. The first two hours are free. Vans, H & M, a sun glasses store, a candy store, Tattoo and Piercings place, and a bunch of other places. There's also a movie theater here and a few sit down restaurants and a few fast food places. There is a supermarket on the lower level as well which is very convenient.

We bought groceries as we simply can't eat out all day every day after two months. And of course sweet treats. We visited the cafe twice mid afternoon for their tapas selection focussing on salmon with honey, red pepper stuffed with spider crab and sardines all of course sit on sliced baguette.
