I'm a fan. If I can find one of these wonderful stores in a Spanish city I'm in the door. My wife too. She buys stuff. Gifts. Clothes. Just stuff that I've little interest in. I go for the food. Glass jars of giant green olives, wonderful near black thin - sliced ham, macadamia nuts enrobed in chocolate and dusted with cocoa powder. semi - dried sliced pieces of banana and pear. I even picked up a bag of American made wotsit type Herr's cheese puffs but extra hot Carolina Reaper flavoured for a mere €4.5 all the way from the USA. After picking and choosing; musing I settled for a café con leche por favor. And it was €2.25 for a tasty large cup and a delightful sweet flavoured biscuit came on the side. I looked at the tind of caviar but randomly decided instead on Stilton cheese. Go figure? I think the lady serving the coffee and cheese thought she had an odd one here. I was surprised to find that the Stilton wasn't massively more expensive than at home so that's a nice surprise and it tasted great too. I know, first world problems but hey ho. read more

El Corte Inglés - Mens fashion - Department Stores Near Me - Palma de Mallorca, PM

For Americans, El Corte Inglés would be Macy's, Belk, Bloomingdale's or another higher end department store. It's for sure not cheap. From the fragrances department through jewelry and clothing, this place is top notch. Good quality and you'll be paying for it. And in Euros, too. Shopping is easy and pleasant, I noticed plenty of registers with short queues. I did not see anything that fit in my price range. read more

El Corte Ingles is like the Spanish equivalent of John Lewis or Fenwick that we have in the UK. This massive store (8 floors!) is located in the centre of Palma, close to the Cathedral and Harbour as well as the main shopping area with other major retailers such as Zara, H&M and C&A being located nearby. We initially came in as we wanted to see how Spanish department stores compared to the United Kingdom, and we ended up going all the way up to the 5th floor to visit their in-store restaurant, which was very good. I had the steak and chips which were excellent and relatively reasonably priced at 12 euros. In other restaurants, this would be almost double the price. There is also a supermarket in one of the basement floors with an underground car park attached. Compared to the Marks & Spencer food halls in the UK, it seemed a little disappointing though, kind of just like a Tesco with normal food available. There is an apparently even larger store near the intermodal station and I am not sure how this is even possible due to how ginormous this place is. The staff members that I encountered were pleasant and said hello as I passed - this is nice as some department store staff in the UK can be very snooty and act as if they are better than you just because they work in the best shop in town. I would recommend that you come to this shop to browse the pretty things and have a coffee or a meal at the top floor café. The restaurant also boasts amazing views of the Cathedral and Harbour as well as some planes taking off from Palma Airport in the distance. read more
