This branch of Decathlon is a huge branch of the chain over multiple floors (2 or 3 I think) in Barcelona, it is located on Avingua Diagonal, and also inside the L'illa mall, which is actually quite close to my hotel, hence the reason I called in during my week in the Catalan Capital.
Having not been in a Decathlon store for nearly 8 months since my visit, with my last time in a store also being abroad when I was in Paris, I had a mild yet not full idea in what to expect and this pretty much lived up into expectations.
Decathlon is more of a sporting goods rather than a sportswear retailer, it does sell limited clothing but not a huge selection, for example it might sell things like bikes and bike outfits, rather than football kits for example.
To summarize, the clothes is more clothes you'd wear to do your sport, rather than the Sportsdirect or JD type clothing, I'm used to in the UK, my home country.
This store is also quite hard to navigate due to its-size, so it can be frustrating going around the store if you want a few things in particular, the staff here seemed okay but not the most friendly or helpful, which was a shame.
Overall, as a store this is okay, not the greatest and slightly above average, but still deserving of a two star rating. read more
