El Corte Inglés

This is the second biggest El Corte Ingles in Barcelona. This is located on the Avinguda Diagonal about 20 – 30 minutes from the flagship El Corte Ingles. This is a little less hectic to shop in as opposed to the flagship store, which becomes super hectic after 6pm.

4* El Corte Inglés
Avenida Diagonal 617, Les Corts
Love this chain of mega-​department stores, one of the biggest in Spain
They have everything
The basement floor has a grocery (bottled water), fast food, bakery (a different pastry everyday?), and foods of all types
Great place to have a breakfast or to-​go food e.g. rotisserie chicken
Restaurant on the upper floor
Also, have a section selling FC Barcelona souvenirs

Am giving it 4 stars, not because I didn’t like my shopping experience here. but mainly because it was a bit expensive! but the food in the restaurant was delicious. and Well done for the complimentary Wine & Tapas! (other Uk Us outlets take note!) will be back again to shop & browse the huge selection of products! Need more €€€s :)

A giant department store that has just about anything you could possibly want. They carry a lot of brands you will not see in the US. Certainly a higher end price point but with the selection and just sheer volume of merchandise you will find what you are looking for. I loved it!

Puedes encontrar de todo sin moverte de este edificio. Muy recomendable la sección gourmet con productos delicatessen de España y todo el mundo.

Difícil de calificar, la verdad es que venir aquí me agobia mucho pero es cierto también que encuentras gran variedad de marcas en un solo edificio así que si buscas algo aquí probablemente lo encontrarás. El servicio es correcto, pero hacer algún cambio o devolución puede resultar una insufrible odisea.
Frecuentado por turistas y locales. parece que lo tiene todo, pero siempre cuesta encontrarlo.

I went in thinking that I can pick up some local stuff for gifts… wrong!
This is an up-​scale department and because of the global retailing, I may as well be shopping on Fifth Avenue (or Saks). Well, a good try — but it is a good place for those who like to shop and don’t mind breaking the bank..

Unbelieveable place.
It has eight floors of merchandise & services and has every conceiveable item for sale that you would find in an entire mall in the US. Just a partial list of what you can find in the store: travel agency, clothes for men women, chidlren and infants, jewelery, tabacco, home furniture, plants & flowers, hardware, appliances big and small, full kitchen store & bathroom store, bakery, pharmacy, wedding service, dry cleaners, banking, insurance, perfurmery, music, electronics, photography store & services, furs, post office, optician, full blown supermarket, event ticket sales, hair salons, shoe repair, food court on one floor, restaurant on another, café on yet another. It has three floors of parking below it. It is a shopper’s Disneyland. It was two blocks from our hotel and we could not resist going in and getting a bottle of water. As visitors we were given a glass of wine and an order of tapas, free.
Some of Sam Walton’s DNA must have found itself in Spain at some time.

I am so in love with Sfera, which is carried here at Corte Ingles, and just wish a) I could get my hands on their stuff when I’m not overseas, which is rare, and b) that they made sizes for husky American girls — I found a top I loved, but the large hardly stretched across my giant linebacker shoulders. :(
Wish I had ever thought to visit the bottom level — two different trips to Spain and to this shop, and I’ve never ventured down!

I love Europe and their super stores! I went here on my last full day out in the city. The lower level is a super market along with a specialty store with rare goods. The upper level reminds you of a department store with their many levels and departments to shop in. I came here mainly to find my best friend a birthday gift which I did. So hard to resist buying something for myself though! It gets quite busy in there, so if you hate the hustle and bustle, try weekdays.

Alguna gente le tiene manía al Corte Inglés pero yo lo veo de lo más práctico. ¡Es díficil no encontrar algo aquí! Últimamente se están volviendo un poco pijos por esto…

This is definitely one of the biggest El Corte Ingles locations in the city. They have a pretty decent variety of merchandise of all sorts: Women’s, Men’s, Kids, Housewares, Sporting Goods, Electronics… everything.
What sets this one apart from the other Corte Ingles stores is the supermarket below is huge. So I make that special trip here for the things I can’t find at my local tiny caprabo. Also, they have a good coffee selection in the gourmet section.
I made the mistake of coming here today, the 5^th of January — which is like trying to go shopping on Dec. 24^th in the States… It was a madhouse — I had to get out of there. fast. Well, the one at Plaza Catalunya is also insane in the evenings… so i guess sometimes you just have to suck it up, and go.

Une chaine de magasin à Barcelone
Un centre commercial basic si ce n’est que l’on trouve un grand centre d’alimentation permettant de faire ses courses. On y trouve une cafétaria, des magasins de livres mais très peu de boutiques de fringues. Un centre commercial pas exceptionnel mais pratique.
