    9 floors of shopping . Women's, men's, kid's clothing, toys, purses, watches, perfumes, etc... Reminds me of the Union Square Macy's in San Francisco except with a fabulous super market in the basement floor. Needless to say I spent most of my time in the basement. Oh yeah baby... canned sardines, canned octopus canned tuna. Iberico ham, Spanish olive oil, magnificent European cheeses,. a deli with an array of Spanish olives, octopus salad, boquerones en vinagre ( fillets of anchovies marinated in Spanish olive oil and vinegar). a section dedicated to fresh whole seafoods displayed on ice. This is my kind of Macy's. Happy Shopping!!

    El Corte Inglés is a huge department store, it is one of the chain's flagship locations with nine floors, it can't get more central in the city, right in the iconic Plaça de Catalunya. From fragrances to technology, from hosting a supermarket to many places to grab food and drink, there is a wide selection of services available here, it would be easy as a tourist to not realise something here, even though the store plan is helpful, it doesn't clearly promote everything. This also means if you're planning to visit for one or two things - it could be super time-consuming to find that part of the store, so you must be prepared to spend time here, even just to visit the supermarket or the toilets. There weren't too many staff members around who could offer assistance, granted it would be difficult to have them all over a nine-floor department store, but still, installing touch-screens or tech points would be helpful. It feels high-end, similar to a Selfridges sort of thing, which I'd find back home in the UK, the vibes inside are rather nice and the store is accommodating and useful to tourists and locals alike down to their products and location. 4*

    Yes, the colonizers have cookies called Filipinos!! I got two packs.

    Just like Macy's they say, the only mall allowed to operate in Spain they say. It's all that and a bag of chips. My first experience at an El Corte Ingles (The English Court) was in Portugal. And it was delightful then and it's still delightful now. This one was quite fancy and the grocery store was pure eye candy for me with all of the Mediterranean stuff that we don't eat enough of. I got some Filipinos cookies, Manila IPAs, cidre, Foie gras (duck liver pate), olives, etc. I'm almost out of the cookies, darn!! The mall also provided a reprieve from the heat and sun, it was at about 83 F. I also used the men's room which was immaculate for a busy mall. If there's ever a zombie apocalypse, I'd like to be holed up here, surrounded by all this good food. Oh, they charge for bags so bring some or a back pack.

    I have visited numerous El Corte Ingles stores throughout Spain... HOWEVER.. it wasn't until my recent visit to Madrid, that my cousin and me discovered their wonderful 9th floor market. The market offers delectables from wines ( from different regions), chocolates, nuts, cakes, etc.. a smorgasbord for eyes, stomach and heart. We loved our visit and dined and drank and enjoyed the beautiful sunset views. Thus, today I decided to stop in for a quick bite post Tibidabo visit. The market houses a variety of food options: traditional Catalan dishes, Japanese teriyaki, grilled meats, salads, wines, juices and desserts. I was in the mood for paella.. I mean when you're in Spain, that is the dish to devour.* The market offered three options: squid ink rice, vegetarian and mixed. I opted for the mixed which consisted of chicken pieces( small bones ), shrimp, mussels and vegetables in yellow rice. The plate cost @11 euros. Not bad: it is a filling plate....thus come a little hungry. The rice tasted as if it has a bit of beer in it.. could be wrong. It was delicious! Add the magnificent free views of Barcelona and a glass of wine.. now you're cooking! The market is quite big and spacious dining. Sadly, it didn't offer the delectables that the Madrid location offers. So next time you're in Spain EAT at El Corte Ingles, oh yeah it does sell clothes, makeup, shoes.. I mean if you really have to buy clothes.. * noticed my little asterisk.. the best paella I've eaten in Barcelona is in Paella Bar, you need at least a second person to share. The portions are huge! This is located outside of La Boqueria. Trust me;) go!

    Of course El Corte Inglés is where you go if you need pretty much anything! But this review is specifically to let you know that you shouldn't skip over the cafe! You will find some of the most delicious foods here! Try it!

    El Corte has been around for about 70 years. They have multiple locations throughout Spain. I really liked their houseware department but was not brave enough to bring breakables. They have some nice quality things. I looked forward to stopping in at El Corte Ingles on my trip to Barcelona. My first time there was in 2005. I still think of the store from time to time even though I live in Florida. I like how they have a supermarket in the basement. There have some neat finds there, such as different flavored Lays chips and specialty chocolates. They have some nice clothing for women. I bought a few things and the prices are pretty fair. The sales associates were nice and we were able to communicate even though I don't speak Spanish. They have everything under the sun here including a travel agency. The store has about eight levels. It is fun to explore what they have. I would love for them to come to Florida but I doubt that will happen.

    El Corte Inglés is a HUGE department store. They sell everything - clothes, bags, shoes, electronics, souvenirs, and there's even a supermarket downstairs. There's also a food court on the top with options like pasta, pizza, paella, sandwiches, salads, just to name a few. Food is pretty good and prices are reasonable. My boyfriend and I shared an omelette and a seafood paella, which came with a good amount of seafood. However, I'm not sure if the food court is worth going to just because of the long checkout lines and fighting for a table. The seating area overlooks Placa de Catalunya, but it's tough enough getting a regular table, let alone a table with a view. I'm glad I got the chance to check it out but I doubt I would return.

    Located on the 9th floor of the mall, this cafeteria has the most amazing view of the city. The view is in a semi circle. The entrance is free, which is amazing because for this type of view, they could definitely charge or make this into a classy restaurant. I'm advised that it was actually a classy restaurant before, which explains the architectural design and current decor. To order, you take a trolley and stack it with trays. I ordered the paella and churros and both were great! The paella was better than some touristy spots. You can pour your own beer. You then pay at a cashier and roll your trolley to your desired spot. Beautiful view of the city during sunset, good food, nice selection. A definite place to visit when in the area!

    Although it's the biggest department store in the city, it's not quite the Harrod's of Barcelona. There just aren't enough stylish elements to warrant the parallel. Truth be told, it reminds me most of a Macy's, a nice one but still a Macy's. For instance, instead of a high-end food hall in the basement, there's a supermarket. There are eleven floors of merchandise here, and climbing the escalators can take a while since some of the floors look fairly identical. For instance, men's sportswear is something Catalans can't seem to get enough of. For a non-shopper like me, the indisputable highlight is the ninth floor where the La Plaça Gastro Mercat is because not only are there a variety of food stations to choose from (photo: http://bit.ly/2p6SCc3), but also an open dining area with panoramic views of the central city including Plaça de Catalunya below (photo: http://bit.ly/2zbBilS) and Sagrada Familia (photo: http://bit.ly/2zam7tk). The great thing is that you don't even have to eat a meal. Just order a sangria and a Coke Zero (photo: http://bit.ly/2kUfNkw) and take in the city at a window-side table.

    Caganers on floor 5! The must-have tasteless Catalonian souvenir - originally a squatting traditional local person hidden behind a nativity scene, dropping a load of what we now get daily from the White House, if you catch my drift here. The Caganer industry has expanded to include politicians, athletes, celebrities of all flavors and nationalities. The Queen! And the best selling Trump and Putin! See em all at https://www.caganer.com/en/ The little shops around Las Ramblas mark em up to 20 euros. Get em here for 16.50, nicely gift wrapped with an multilingual history included. Plus the usual excellent food hall and all the stuff expected in a high end department store.

    El Corte Ingles reminds me of a department store like Bloomingdales or Nordstrom back in Los Angeles with adjoining restaurant/cafe, except with way more floors/categories of merchandise. -1 Floor has a high end market, pharmacy, deli, sushi, oyster/wine bar downstairs. Good for nice souvenirs (olive oil, almond biscuits, pre-sliced acorn fed ham) 9th floor has a fancy food court with spectacular views of the city. I like to grab a €6.50 bowl of assorted salads and dispense a €3 glass of wine and catch the sunset in the wifi section. There's fruit, smoothies, burgers, pasta, sushi, Chinese/Thai food, paella, charcuterie, sandwiches, tortilla (omelettes), grilled meat/fish and more!

    Diagonal Mar is a large shopping centre on Avingua Diagonal in Barcelona. The mall opened in 2001,…read moreand despite being over 20 years old now, parts of the mall still seem modern. The location is good; it is right by the beach, and there is the Hilton Hotel across the way. The mall has three floors, including an outdoor area, which has a number of places to eat, including a Gino's Restaurant, as well as American fast food giants McDonald's and Five Guys. As you enter, you can find more big American brands inside, including Starbucks, Dunkin and Subway. Alcampo (large supermarket), Deichamann, Kiko Milano, Levi's, Primark and Sephora have stores here; there is also a small Nespresso stand. As I was staying at the Hilton Diagonal Mar during my August 2024 trip to Barcelona, I did visit this mall quite often, although it wouldn't be somewhere I'd go out of my way to visit. 3* - I do prefer La Maquinista or the city centre when shopping in Barcelona, as both have specific benefits over Diagonal Mar, but this is one of the few indoor shopping centres within the city, and it certainly is worth a visit on a rare rainy day or if you're looking to visit one of the stores or restaurants located here.

The size of the store can be mixed, in a way it is good as it is slightly smaller than the other branches but still has a good range, and is slightly less busy too, which is a good thing as it means for me, a nicer shopping experience. There is a restaurant on the top floor, known as Floor 5 meanwhile there are two floors after the 0 Floor / Ground called SS and S, the bottom floor "S" has customer services, in this store you can find a lot of things from fashion for men, women and children to a small Dietics supermarket and cosmetics, bags, jewelry, gifts and furniture, the later all being on the -1 / SS floor. The staff around the mall didn't seem too welcoming or friendly or even active in engaging with the customers which is the shame. For me however, this store even with the store guide at the front in english as well as spanish, was just too difficult to navigate and that was a real shame, and although the size of this store is impressive, it is pretty much an average department store in terms of range, and is perhaps too big, which is shocking knowing this is only Barcelona's second largest branch of the chain.
