El Corte Inglés is a massive department store with 11 floors to explore! They've got brands like Longchamp, Bimba y Lola, Samsonite, Sephora, Balmain, Brunello Cucinelli, and more.

Honestly, better than most malls we have in Massachusetts. read more

El Corte Ingles - Department Stores Near Me - Madrid, M

This is a huge department store, said to be the largest in Europe. It was founded in 1904 and has many branches. The basement has a gourmet market as well as some fancy restaurants. Service is helpful. You can find lots of gift items. I got some olives from the olive section. I asked the woman which ones to get and she explained which were especially from Madrid. They were good. There are so many fancy items, and there were sales, too. read more

El Corte Ingles - Spices - Department Stores Near Me - Madrid, M

Expansive market + food court in the city center of Madrid. Many market items that appear to be on sale (50% off) are actually buy one, get second for 50% off. Food court: many delicious items (sold by weight) are not heated and come in microwaveable containers. (fried calamari, croquettes, etc.) read more

Service was great, selection, not so much, value is questionable, and I when hunger hit, the pizza store was in front of me and I went in. I've had better. read more

My favorite go to in Spain. Anything you want is here. Huge! Can be overwhelming with so many beautiful items to choose from. Prices are so reasonable! read more

Buenas noches, Trato al cliente lamentable. Me cobraron un servicio y no me lo hicieron. Tenían que coser un traje, llegue a recogerlo y no lo habían cosido, no soy de la isla, por lo que les comento que me devuelvan el dinero y se niegan ya que no tienen la boleta del banco. Por lo tanto, una estafa. No lo recomiendo para nada. Saludos. read more

A one-stop shop, well laid out, lots of staff to direct you, you can get everything you need and have a great experience. We stopped in to grab a picnic, and ended up taking home three bottles of super well-priced wine...everything was on sale! We got bottles for $3-4 that would be $30-40 here in the states!! We also picked up candy, chocolates, and meats all on sale-this location in particular was the sweet spot for shopping. Stopping in other ones nearby, or in other cities, we didn't have such a great experience, as we dealt with overcrowding, dirty messy aisles, and unclear layouts. I would advise shop and stock up here! read more

The incompetency is staggering! I have a hard time even giving a one star! The incompetency is overwhelming. I bought a high end coffee maker in Tarragona for my wife's birthday. They said they didn't have it in stock but promised they could send it within 5 days. It didn't arrive. I called. They promised again it would be there before the 14th. It didn't come. Two phone calls later... they promised an email verifying the complaint... It never came. I went to El Corte Ingles in Barcelona... Customer service said I should talk to a supervisor in the department but they couldn't do anything unless I went back to Tarragona. The supervisor finally agreed to send an email to Tarragona store to cancel the order and put the 450 Euro coffee machine back on my card. I asked for a copy of the email so I could follow up... they said, "Store policy says we can't give copies of email to customers"... Really! I would imagine with their level of competency they think it's best to frustrate the customer rather than give the customer a legal document. On and on. The level of stupidity and incompetence was astounding. BTW... I still don't have the refund, nor the call back, nor the email, nor the coffee machine... They promised!!! read more

Coolest department store in Spain. They have everything. Always an enjoyable experience.

One of the best shopping centers in Madrid! You will love this place because of every little thing, good parking area, nice entrance by car, near of the metro station, placed in the center of the city, great shop collections, new fashion design and nice smell inside! read more

El Corte Ingles - Always Best shopping in Madrid | El Corte Ingles - Department Stores Near Me - Madrid, M

I am not sure if I am just spoiled by American shopping malls but I was entirely underwhelmed by Corte Ingles. It reminded my of a run-down Macy's with Nordstrom prices. There were way too many floors - i think 12? And I couldn't find an elevator so taking the escalators up and down made me feel like a mouse in a maze. The prices seemed steep on brand names and I did not notice too many good sales. Maybe I just didn't know how to navigate the store as well as a local, but found myself frustrated by the layout and exhausted from all the escalators. I ended up buying a ton of Turon for gifts but I could have done so at one of their flagship stores anyways. Kudos to the super friendly girl working at the Turon section - she was awesome. read more

This store has several reincarnations: there are El Cortes that have electronics, washing machines, furniture. Then there are mostly clothing for the family on several floors, grocery store on the bottom floor. The clothes are on the pricey side.I have gone here when my luggage was lost and I had to buy everything from top to bottom. read more

Wow. This is the biggest grocery store I've ever seen abroad. It's amazing. How amazing? Let's put it this way- I found ingredients to make tacos. Mexican food, in Europe. For those who haven't been around the world, that's basically the equivalent of finding the grail. Oh, and did I mention it's merely the *basement* floor of this mega department store? read more

Avoid at all cost. They'll refund you your taxes if you a resident outside EU, and then recharge your card a month later, even though I had it stamped at CDG airport in Paris (my last destination in EU) and put it in the designated mailbox at CDG! read more

IF I could give this place 0 stars I would. I purchased online (from the US) a Mexican mini-banquet as a Xmas present and had it scheduled to be delivered on the 23rd to a home in Madrid. They delivered one item (a bag of chips that cost about 1 Euro) and left the complete rest of the order out (Coronas, guacamole, lemons, more chips, salsa). Of course they charged me 12euros for the 1euro bag of chips and now I can't even get an answer from them on where the rest of the order is. It has been two weeks. COVID is not an excuse for this incompetence and frankly fraudulent behavior. STAY AWAY FROM THIS BUSINESS UNLESS YOU WANT TO BE SWINDLED read more

This place is amazing not only for the variety of items but for the wonderful service. The salesgirls go out of their way to be helpful and one even went across the store looking for the right bag to go with the dress I bought. There is something here for all wallet sizes- the supermarket downstairs is pretty complete- from jamon to wines you can get it here. read more

This place for the Americans reading this is similar to Macy's in Mid-Town Manhattan. The store is huge!! Groceries on the lower level and department store mainstays on the upper levels. This is a store for those who enjoy shopping, if you don't enjoy shopping for just browsing to see the type of stuff that is sold in other countries you'll want to run out of here screaming. Its a bit on the higher end as far as department stores goes as far as prices of items. I did end up buying a purse here because with the VAT refund it ended up being cheaper than what I would have paid in the US. Also the other plus about stopping in here the restrooms are free and they are clean and plentiful! read more

12 floors of anything you could ever need while in Madrid. Looking for a dress, maybe some Godiva chocolate, a Starbucks macchiato, your favorite Nars blush that you dropped, a new purse, some sandals, a banana, tampons, a stroller for your child, a bicycle to ride around the city, some Legos, a hairbrush, a pair of pearls to match your dress, a suitcase for everything you just bought at this market? Whatever you need, this place has it! read more

i was a bit surprised to see this department store in spain, esp since the name literally translates to "the english court." upon walking in, i definitely felt like i had stepped into an american department store! this one reminded me of macy's, multiple stories, 9 or 10 levels i believe, with separate levels for clothing, food, furniture, and household goods. my main reason for coming here was to purchase the traditional spanish nougat candy, "turron," since the concierge where i was staying told me that i could find it at this store. heading towards the basement/cellar, where the food was, i had no trouble locating the section with the turron. in fact, there were so many different varieties and sizes that i had a really tough time choosing! fortunately, they also had samples at the register, so i could actually taste some of the varieties before making my selections. i was also pleased that the cashiers spoke some english which was helpful...guessing many tourists come here, so speaking english is a necessity. i ended up purchasing 10 assorted flavours, all in the 80 gram size, perfect for gift giving without taking up too much space in my suitcase. each bar was €2, not bad at all for this unique treat. all of my friends and family loved this candy, as did hubby and i. if i return to madrid, i will definitely be back to "the english court" to pick up some more turron! and next time, i might just buy 20 bars (and bring a bigger suitcase)! read more

This is the major department store chain in Spain and this location is one of their flagship stores. We spent an hour shopping here and had a great time. I enjoy seeing the products that are not sold in the USA. This store is huge and it has everything you can image including groceries in the lowest level. Even though our shopping for general merchandise was limited in Spain we felt the prices here were fair. We will return on our next trip to Madrid. read more

Online scam. Avoid at all costs. It was a great place once. Now, they may last months to give your money back

A huge department store to do all your shopping at. They sell everything. The vat refund counter is always understaffed. Line is long.

I must have visited this shop(s) once a year or more for about 25 years. I don't precisely know why, as there are plently of things I don't like about it. However, here' s some good stuff to know. Great little supermarket in the preciados basement, which doesn't get too busy. mummmm, the chorizo, manchego, olive oils etc=tasty. you can even buy cadbury's chocolate here (better than nestle in my opinion). Little known fact: a bomb once went off here and brought down a tile in my kitchen wall 100m away(?!). best kitsch treat - check out the christmas hoarding/display over the entrance on calle postigo de san martin in the month of December. your kids will love it! read more

There appear to be two just a few blocks apart. We visited the smaller 6-floor version which has lots of athletic shoes and athletic wear with a restaurant-bar on the top floor. We missed the huge 12- floor version reviewed by other Yelpers. We were happy to find a shop where we could get some basics due to luggage lost at the airport. Would have been useful to realize there is another larger one so close by!! read more

If you are looking for some gourmet souvenirs, this is it! I found lots of stuff to take back home but I don't have enough space in my suitcase. read more

El Corte Ingles is THE main department store in Madrid. From the hype in our guide book, I was expecting something akin to Selfridges or perhaps even John Lewis. Alas, this was more like a Marks & Spencer's meets BHS kind of place - no designer brands or impressive displays. Strangely, the clothing all seemed to be styled on the late 80s/early 90s and it all just seemed a bit, well, dull. I didn't buy anything, but neither did I feel the desire to not my idea of a successful or enjoyable shopping experience. This is definitely a place for the everyday, rather than a place to treat yourself to a fabulous shopping experience. read more

Madrid doesnt seem to have HUGE shopping malls. the biggest one..(which is not really that big!!!) is el corte ingles. The English Court (Mall). It is like one shop which lots of departments. The stuff is pretty cheap and they do have a huge range of make up... But sadly the "shopping experience" isnt really like Uk or US or anywhere else actually! The thing i do like about spain is the colours and huge range of different styles of clothing. Lots of the clothes are brightly coloured and the trends vary. However no-one ever seems to wear sneakers! And i search the whole of el corte ingles for a pair only to be very unsuccessful. There doesnt seem to be any huge brand names there either, like you dont really find things like gucci and LV for example... wonder why?? :S (if anyone knows let us know!!)

This place is absurd in a good way! They have about 6-7 floors of all types of shopping for any occasion or situation! They also have a cafe which serves great food, awesome drinks, coffee and churros. It's insane what a one stop shop this place is but it's also packed at all times. The croquettes were good but so was my burger! read more

Have your tried to order online? I did... it took 4 weeks to realize that my "24 hours order" could not be delivered. another 2 weeks to acknowledge that they own me money, another two week so they could "give priority" to my refund which after 49 days I have still not received. In the meanwhile if you try to contact the customer service, it takes at least four days before you get an answer to an email which is usually useless. Still waiting and counting, I could not understand if there is actually some in charge over clients' satisfaction. Obviously not. read more

We visited the store in Madrid. The store is very large with a huge variety of options, mostly designer brands.

The supermarket in the basement is perfect for all your grocery needs when staying in the area. Note that the bathroom, hygiene, and cleaning supplies are in a separate section. read more

Great department store that is very popular throughout Spain. I would compare it to Macy's or Neiman Marcus in the US, yet at 6-7 stories tall its much bigger than most stores. Great selection of clothes, electronics, beauty supplies and shoes. The consultants in shoe and beauty department were all knowledgeable and helpful. Also, 10% discount given to tourists, you just have to go to customer service to get a card. Great place to find everything in one store read more

Great shopping and wonderful supermarket . We enjoyed the wine tasting and the amazing selection of cheeses. Plus I've never seen so many types of ham. Stocked up on goodies and walked to the park for a lovely picnic. read more

Since I lived in Spain x 8years and like some of the brands there even though I moved to NY I still do some purchase online. I buy from Zara, spagnolo most of the time but this time I bought a good pair of green color boots Neosens from Corte ingles, they sent me a dark blue, I wrote them 1 million times without any answer until one day they decided to answer to my email. Every day they asked me a different question as if the person in charge is not familiar with the job. I felt very disappointed, now they just send me an email after exchanging 15 mails with them they redirect my request to the cor. department (Te comunicamos que hemos remitido tu e-mail al departamento correspondiente), since then nobody contacts me. I am more than disappointed!!! Corte ingles, NEVER again. read more

Yes, sadly the best Spanish department store/supermarket is called the English Shop. Presumably modelled on Marks and Spencer, the central Madrid version, just up from Sol, is insanely huge. 9 floors? Including a basement supermarket and sub basement carpark. The supermarket is great, all the stuff you could want, including stuff you shouldn't, ever buy, like tinto mixed with lemonade (yes the spanish will insist on mixing coca cola with their red wine why why why???) I drank this, and yes, it made me drunk, watching Sex and the City with my two female American roommates at Los Amigos Sol, but frankly, if it tastes of cold Mulled Wine why bother? It is not so cheap as Dia supermarket, where I got a very effective roll on (they have to be in the spanish weather) so if you're on a budget avoid El Corte Ingles for food purchases. However, the seventh floor tourist centre is where to get your cheap postcards, ten for EUR1.50, plus lots of spanish tat, all much cheaper than the typical little tourist shops. The restaurant is on the same floor if you're feeling peckish, reasonably priced but not as cheap as the best tapas bars. Since you are in Spain, it's always nice to check out the hunting department, where you can buy big knives and rifles, for when the bulls turn nasty. I lingered round the department with a misty eye but there was one genuine customer at the time, an older Spanish businessman (I think from my experiences in Vaughantown that older spanish businessmen are the only people left on earth who know how to have a good time). I took the escalator up through what appeared to be an insanely large lingerie section, and the menswear section was likewise enormous. It is all air conditioned and a welcome respite from the Madrid sun. read more

I was in Madrid on May 9th, 2012. After a day of sightseeing, my adult son and I decided to stop in and check out El Corte Ingles. We were staying at the hotel Emperador. We are from NYC and are use to shopping in all types of establishments. The store was pretty empty. I went up to the handbag department, and I don't know why but the saleslady (a short middle age lady with reddish dyed short hair) decided she was going to follow me around as I checked out the bags. At first I just smiled and acknowledged her, but when she proceeded to follow me down aisle after aisle without offering any assistance, it became obvious to me she was "keeping an eye" on me. As I said, being from NYC I shop often and at stores much nicer than this. I could not understand what about me made her think I was someone to be watched. My son in the meantime was looking at wallets. When I told him about it, he said they had done the same to him. We are hispanic but not Spanish. I can only think, and shame on her, that her actions were based strictly on the way we looked. We left because I refuse to accept that treatment from anyone and as a matter of principle did not step foot in that store for the duration of our trip. read more
