Although I didn't make a purchase I am sure a lot of people are buying if they are able to maintain such a large location in the heart of Barcelona. Prices are pretty reasonable and the store is trendy and appealing to the younger crowd.

Prices are so reasonable that many customers used large shopping carts for their bargain finds. The jeans were an excellent fit. I found some of the size run big so take advantage of the changing rooms before purchase ,"Probadores". I was also pleased to see many of the items were made in a variety of countries so I could be selective. Don't freak out when you see the 28 cashiers (and that was just on my floor) but it's indicative of just how popular this store has become. There is good traffic control for single item customers and those with the monster carts full of wares. Bring your passport or photo if you want to file for the VAT waiver.

The intimate or lingerie department had beautiful and high quality lines as well as designs made in Spain at reasonable prices. The extended return policy also helps if not trying on items in the store or in a hurry. Their stores are multi levels food and grocery items in the lower level, perfumes shoes, handbags electronics on second, women's, men's etc. don't know how many of you will relate but back in the day "Burdines" which is now known as Macy's only had Restaurants in their stores and La Corte Inglés has a wonderful restaurant that brought back memories. Didn't want to give away my age but it's like saying I'm from the era of whoolworth's, Tom McCann Shoes, tube TV's, cellular phones were a brick and Wordstar was the it program lol! I definitely recommend you visit La Corte Inglés for the experience. Their window displays are like the old fashioned ones. The decorations throughout the entire store was impressive. If you can visit late November to mid December you will be blown away. Hasta luego,

The primary flagship store for the chain is located in Madrid at 79, Raimundo Fernández Villaverde Street. It encompasses several buildings and carries the most comprehensive collection of designers of any large store in Spain. I briefly coaxed Gayle into one building of the Madrid Complex sometime during the evening before Día de la Hispanidad. El Corte Inglés was also close to the Hotel, so why not? I don't recall what I was looking for, but I remember the entire place to be packed with people. We walked and shopped around, but left relatively quickly. After all, we didn't come to Spain to spend too much time in a large equivalent of Macy's. And as Gayle and I later traveled through Bilboa, San Sebastian, Girona, or Barcelona, there was a El Corte Inglés around just in case we changed our mind. Yet, there's a grocery store in the basement and one always needs wine and nibbles on the road......

Trips to España aren't complete without flying home with a new pair of espadrilles. Casa Hernanz…read morewas on my to do list for Madrid. I happily stumbled upon them while on a walking tour with my bff. I was at best, only marginally interested in the tour as the guide wasn't able to hold my attention (Hemingway was right on the money with "I drink to make other people more interesting" as maybe had I had a drink he wouldn't have bored me to pieces within the first 2min) so I spent most of it wandering off and exploring nearby because the entire point of a walking tour is to actually walk while learning fun new things. For instance, I learned where this shop was without directions. I walked right in and there were several people inside but no queue upon my arrival. They have so many options, but being petite I typically rarely if ever wear flats unless they are my tennis shoes. I tried on a few different pairs and sizes since I'm typically a 36 or 37 depending on the style of shoe. A couple color options weren't available in my size but I did find a really nice neutral brown I can pair with plenty. Service was great! My pair cost 25 euro which I felt was extremely reasonable. I only fly with hand luggage which definitely helps limit my spending due to space. Trust me when I say you'll want more than one pair! There's very little I love more than supporting a small buisness with incredible products. The store feels really special, very pleased with my experience. Grateful to have visited and HIGHLY recommend for any Madrid itinerary.

The shoes seem a little more expensive, but everything has gone up in price. Be realistic - know what type of shoes you would wear, what your price point is, and what you like. If you live in a warm climate these shoes are perfect. The store can be overwhelming because there are alot of options, but please do not waste their time. The girl next to me had them bring out 10 pairs of shoes to only buy 1 pair.
