    I had an extremely disappointing experience at this perfume shop. I went in looking for a specific…read moreperfume that I've been using for years but had some doubts about which one it was. The owner confidently assured me--100%--that he knew exactly which one I needed because he was "the expert." Trusting his expertise, I purchased the perfume for €150, which is not cheap by any means. When I got home and opened the box (only removing the cellophane), I immediately realized it was NOT the right perfume. I returned the same day, fully expecting that he would take responsibility for his mistake and allow me to exchange it--especially since I hadn't used it. However, instead of acknowledging his error, he refused to swap it, giving me a long-winded excuse about how he couldn't accept returns because I had removed the outer plastic. His so-called "solution" was to offer me a half-used sample of the perfume I actually wanted, claiming he had no more stock--which was clearly a lie, as he keeps his stock behind the counter. So, in the end, I paid €150 for a half-used bottle of perfume, all because this shop owner made a mistake and refused to take accountability. That is absolutely unacceptable and appalling customer service. I do not recommend this place to anyone. If this is how they treat their customers, I suggest taking your business elsewhere.

    I cannot recommend this place enough! I was in Barcelona mid October and was looking for a local…read morecosmetic or perfume store to buy a special Spanish perfume to commemorate my trip. Everywhere I searched in Barcelona had international, commercial perfumes that I can easily get online or my native country (United States). By chance, I came across Isidro's and went there on my last full day. I went as soon as they opened so I was the only customer. Isidro politely let me do my own thing and then checked up on me. Once we spoke and I told him that I was looking for something Spanish to remember this beautiful trip, he began to share his wealth of information with me. He showed me so many Spanish perfumes, explained the different scents and notes in them and gave some back story on the original maker if he knew some of it. Being the only person there, the shopping experience was a cool, intimate experience because he dedicated almost a full hour to talking to me and sharing his knowledge. Additionally, there was no pressure from him whatsoever to purchase. I ended up purchasing an expensive perfume for myself, another for my mom and some men's grooming items for my dad and brother. He wrapped them up beautifully for me too. Also, I was able to speak to him for a long time because I'm a native Spanish speaker, so conversation was easy. I left Isidro's feeling like I accomplished my mission and like I left with a friend in Barcelona. I'll definitely come back the next time!!

    Believe as the lady told me this is the last standing "mall" of department stores in Spain?…read more It was crazy, hectic and uber busy! Bathroom is on the top floor in the corner, and yes guaranteed line! They however offer so many different brands at diff price levels and sales. There is a ton of staff manning every station, perfumes, designer bags, women's wear, men's wear, shoes and sneakers, dresses, suits, mens separates, kids etc. they have hair salon within, honestly I was hot, there was a group of female pickpockets that were roaming inside so keep your head on a swivel, busy hectic space, close quarters-- prime time for pickpockets. We were warned by another family while shopping that they witnessed it and they pointed the thieves out to me.

    I love El Corte Ingles! They have such a large selection &…read moreyou can find everything here--bags, clothes, jewelry, makeup, a supermarket in the basement floor, restaurant on the top floor, & even a hair salon! El Corte Inglés is Spain's only remaining traditional national department store chain, pretty cool. I love the clothing brands they offer here. At first, I thought all of their clothes would be super expensive but actually they have a lot of reasonably priced, good quality pieces! The first floor has some popular bag brands like Longchamp, Bimba y Lola, and more. Honestly, I wished we had something like this in the U.S. 9 floors of goodies!
