    Looking for night life in Madrid? Well would you think to look for it in a department store? Huh???? Yep! El Corte Ingles is hopping... a gastronomic/ cocktail feast for all senses! Octopus tacos? Yep! Iberian sandwiches? Check! Sangria with olives? Si si! Seriously, I don't know about you but after a rough day of shopping, touring, working etc you need a serious cocktail to wind down! Life on Calle Gran Via is hectic thus El Corte Ingles is happy to help! Just take elevator to 9th floor and voila your in Madrid Disneyland.. so many options of different bars, cocterias and cafes. You can also purchase epicurean delights such as vino, olives, torrone, you name it. Also, you can see eye popping views of Gran Via!

    El Corte Inglés is one of my favorite stores in the planet. I was excited to return to Spain and visit this place after many years. They have a wonderful selection of everything - from appliances and groceries, to white-label fast fashion and toys. Anything you need they have it here. I was excited to find a great Playmobil selection here. Much better than I have ever seen at US department store. I was also pleased to see that prices appeared to be reasonable on most items here despite its central (and somewhat touristy) location. I also discovered a new (to me) Spanish brand from Galicia call El Pulpo. I wanted to buy everything from their section in the Young Mens fashion floor. Its was really great stuff. A young saleswoman named Noelia was very helpful in finding my sizes. I only wish they sold it in the America If you are visiting Madrid, stop in this store. It may be strange to visit a department store while you are visiting a foreign country but this location is something to behold. It is also where the Spanish shop (when they are not shopping on amazon) so it is somewhat authentic too!

    Head to the top floor and enjoy a cafeteria style lunch with amazing views of Madrid. Grab a wheel cart to take your around the food court and pick out your selections . I had a salad ( you pick your base and 6 ingredients) - it was light and delicious. My son chose the sushi - pretty good choice. Great casual lunch with magnificent views of beautiful Madrid. Recommend!

    Located next to the plaza Del sol this huge department store nine floors up and down gives you a huge amount of shopping but prices are definitely on the high side. Top floor restaurants makes it very nice to absorb the sun and fresh air while dining on one of many dining options.

    Spain's version of a one stop shop. There are plenty of El Corte Ingles around the Madrid area that we stayed. They are very large and about 3x the size of a typical department store. It's as if a grocery store, best buy, food court, and department store had a small baby. I had fun walking around and browsing, and ended up on the top floor at this particular location to get an amazing view of the Madrid skyline. There are not many tall buildings in the city centre that we stayed so this was a fun way to see a lot of what we had walked and toured day after day. Ate lunch here overlooking the view and purchased a few gourmet food items to take back to the USA. Def somewhere I would pop into if you were visiting Madrid on vacation.

    Delicious tapas and only three euros apiece.

    My favorite store in Spain! They have EVERYTHING one would need for the house including groceries! How great is that? The quality is excellent. I wish I lived in Spain so I could shop here all the time. The store on Plaza de Callao near the Sol metro station was the best I visited in Spain. They have a book store, a pharmacy, clothes etc. but on the top floor, I believe it was the 6th floor, is like a food court but not fast food. There is a terrace there and you can view the city of Madrid. It really is quite spectacular! They even have a charcuterie! If you are in Madrid you must go there and if you don't do anything else go to the top floor and walk around. It's amazing. I love it.

    Nice location. I got a suit on sale for $50!! I'd compare this place to Macy's or Nordstrom.

    Great store! It's a Macy's upstairs and Kroger's in the basement. Stopped at several as we traveled around Spain.

    This beautiful womens' clothing and accessories and shoe store is drool- worthy in my book. I've…read morebeen in this store (in Madrid and Barcelona) a hundred times but have never dared to try anything on, first, because of the price tag. Yup, it's pricey. Second reason might have more to do with me than with them. I was cut from a friendly cloth and I've worked retail for many years and so I'm critical of the cool and aloof customer service approach. It just bums me out, and sometimes it intimidates me enough so that I don't try on things that I might otherwise buy, if it fits me right, even if it's expensive, You just never know. And, seriously, iciness, in general, is not good for business- that's just common sense. Ok, I'm off my soapbox now. I'll continue with reason three for not trying on/purchasing at Hoss and that's because the clothes are so damn beautiful, delicate, original, chic, sophisticated. AgghHH!!! Sometimes it's just too much going in there because I want everything, it overwhelms, and you know that old saying "All dressed up and nowhere to go" ? That's me. Well, at least for the moment. However, people do get dressed up here more than in the States, in general, at least. People seem to take more pride in their appearance on this side of the pond. Hence, this classy store. The clothes are just stunning. You can find elegant party and cocktail dresses, wedding dresses, work wear, play wear, hip lounging and drinking wear. And, the shoes and the purses and jewelry and accessories.... please!! go in, it's all good. I had a very nice experience at the Fuencarral location this afternoon. The salesperson at the door said hello to me AND smiled. I almost fell over. This was a first for me at Hoss, and my immediate response was to grab the first thing I like and try it on. And she followed me to the dressing room and tended to my requests and gave me her opinion and it was all so beautiful. Really, it just flowed. And, to make matters even more magical- my size fit me- all the way around. Length too, even for my short little american legs. I'm not kidding! The price tag reflects the impeccable fit of the clothing in this store and that, for me, makes shopping most worthwhile. Of course, when the wallet permits.

    I made a mistake of not bring a dress for a gala-like event that I had to attend... and this place…read morehad what I was looking for, in the right price range! I bought a beautiful creamy long dress that was recommended to me by a very attentive salesperson, who was not sales-y at all. Because I was looking for evening dresses, I only paid attention to what's upstairs... gorgeous fancy dresses!

    I am addicted to this store. I am a glutton for punishment…read more I also really want to give it another star, because I think the clothes are very stylish, hip, beautiful, cute, fashion forward, etc....and the quality is better than most of the other women's clothing stores (at this price level) in Spain. The leather products: shoes, boots, purses, belts, accessories, are way cool. The quality is good, but not stellar. You will walk into the store and slowly but surely become overwhelmed by all of the eye candy. Then, you will start to sift around for your size and then you will happily make a b-line for the dressing room. You close the curtain, and that's when the trouble begins. You will try on that blouse or skirt or dress in the size that you've worn your entire adult life but are now realizing that the upper part of that blouse sleeve will start cutting off your circulation within a few minutes and that that waist cut is not going to go up any further than your thighs. It is very disappointing. You flash to the anorexic models on the Hakei website and catalogue, you are reminded of the hungry and unhappy looking girls who work there, and you will realize that the only way you will be able to fit properly into the vast majority of this brand's clothing line is if you cut back to eating half a sandwich and smoking a pack of cigarettes a day. Ok. I may be exaggerating some. In the past year, I've bought numerous pairs of shoes and boots, belts and some blouses. And I am happy with my purchases. But, it's a roll of the dice when it comes to the clothing, really. Unless you are built like a small boy, you are going to be let down many times. And unless you have money to burn, you will quickly realize that the quality does not match the price.

    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.

    Went back to my favorite shoe store in Spain. Bought three more pairs of espadrilles. I own 6 pairs…read morefrom here. Service is always great and quick. 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.
