Its name literally translated means "The English Cut" referring to its origins as a men's suit shop in Madrid specializing in English styles. One of my favorite things to do overseas is hangout in the supermarkets. I love seeing the local cheeses and meats in the deli -- you can even ask for samples sometimes. Love perusing the spice aisles and seeing the different wines and liqueurs. El Corte Ingles had the best supermarket hands down. Great selection of regional products, their self-branded items are quality as well. I bought several tins of their smoked paprika as gifts. What surprised me were that the prices weren't exceptionally high. I treated myself to a tin of duck and truffle pâté, can't wait to open this one up. I could easily spend a small fortune here as the merchandise is well-curated and on a hot Spanish summer day, it's nice to peruse in an airconditioned space.

If you come to San Sebastian and the airlines lose your luggage (like they did mine) Arrco is a…read moregood spot to hit. It was a ten minute walk from my hotel which was an added bonus. They also have a parking garage underneath and bus stop and taxi lane right outside. Most of the stores in San Sebastian are specialty shops and you could easily spend a few hours walking between all of them just to get a complete change of clothes, and usually won't find everything you need. A little frustrating for us Americans accustomed to having everything under one roof. Arrco had everything I needed. The below ground level is a food store where you can get all your grocery shopping done and pick up any hygeine/cosmetic gear you require. They also have a decent selection of beer and liquor. The street and upper levels have clothing stores and spots to grab a quick drink, coffe, or light snack. I was able to buy a few outfits to replace the ones lost in my checked bag, soap, shampoo, etc., beer, as well as a backpack to tote it all back to the hotel in. Finally drinking cold beer and getting a shave! A very productive day!
