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.

Sadly, this store isn't what it was many years ago. It's now a sterile outlet with limited options. If you are a fringe size (0 or 12), you will be able to find plenty. Everyone else won't be as lucky.

In July of 2016 I purchased several items. But this was May. Not only was the selection limited, but the discounts were mostly 30 percent. I did see a beautiful jean jacket with an evil eye broche. I would have purchased it. But the medium one fit me tight. They didn't have a large one. Desigual runs small. If you go when the big sales are going on in the summer in Spain, I recommend you visit. Maybe they'll have more merchandise and better prices.

I like Desigual's colourful clothes, but the pricing is somewhat harsh to me, so I was really happy that I discovered this outlet and could buy a few new pieces for my boyfriend and myself 50 or even 70 percent off. The highlight of the shopping experience was that Desigual is running a promotion in Summer 2016, and as our purchase exceeded a certain value, we were treated to a 90 minute complimentary boat trip. Luckily enough, there were still spots for the next day, so we could take our only chance to use our vouchers. I find the idea just brilliant and added a really nice memory to our holiday in Barcelona. Unfortunately I can also report about their exchange process now - I did not check one of the items well enough and only noticed at the hotel that it was a bit damaged by the 50 percent off badge. There were no other dresses like that in my size, so I took another one - everything ran quickly and flawlessly.
