The one and only Spanish Department Store

Advantages: one-stop-shop
Disadvantages: a bit expensive

El Corte Ingles ( the English Cut) is the only big department store in Spain present in most big cities. Barcelona has got two, one strategically located in the busiest part of the city – Placa Catalunya (7 floors) and the other situated in the main Business and Finance street – Diagonal (5 floors).

Compared to UK department stores I would say that El Corte Ingles could be at the same level as John Lewis, although some ...

Most of these department stores have the same layout:

Lower ground floor – Supermarket with a wide selection of top class meats, cheeses, wines, cava, etc
Groud floor – Accessories, Cosmetics, Perfumes, Souvenirs…

Then upwards, each floor is dedicated to a category only – menswear, womeswear, children, house & garden, sports, electronics etc. Only selected shops have Bridal ... more

Is it worth visiting?

Transport links

Family Friendly

Expensive but extensive

Advantages: Quality and choice
Disadvantages: Price

Corte Ingles is the main department store in Spain, it is huge every major town has at least one and cities will have several. One of the main stores in Barcelona is at the top of the famous Ramblas. It is huge 7-8 floors ( I didnt count), covering everything from underwear to toys. The thing about Corte Ingles is the quality of the merchandise, it very rare to find shoddy cheap good but of course quality has a price. The mensware dept is as in British ...
...of good quality suits, at prices less than the uk. A good service provided the we Brits could learn from is that they will make same day, free alterations to even the cheapest of suites. If you are a shopaholic then Barcelona Corte Ingles is for you, if only to escape the intense summer heat by savouring the excellent air conditioning that the store provide. The store will also change currency for you but be prepared to queue and unless you are spending ...

Function over Fashion

Advantages: It's not Liverpool. It has shops and restaurants and what not.
Disadvantages: It's not Manchester. It only has some shops and restaurants and what not.

took a taxi at a cost of about £13. Other alternatives are to take the train (every 30 minutes from Clot-Arago, Arc de Triomf, Placa Catalunya and Barcelona Sants stations) for about £3 or the bus from outside the Corte Ingles department store for £1.50. These both run from 6am to midnight 6 days a week, and during more limited times on Sundays. No matter how you travel, the trip never takes more than half an hour. If you end up at the wrong terminal, there are also regular shuttle busses to the other 2. ** Good Points ** The airport was incredibly easy to navigate, and the whole place was spotlessly clean and shiny. There were lots of staff on hand to answer questions and they seemed nice and friendly – even pointing out to the homeless people hanging around where they could fill up their water bottles (in England one look ...

Review of Barcelona Airport (BCN)

Barcelona: a wonderful city

Advantages: you can meet different races
Disadvantages: nothing

Of course, Barcelona isn't big like London or Paris with their 8/9 millions inhabitants, but it offers more attractions. At first you can visit a lot of bars where you can have the first experience with the Spanish mentality. Then, you can visit the wonderful monuments of Gaudí like "Sagrada Familia" or "Parc Güell". Barcelona has also one of the beautifulness pedestrian walkways (perhaps the beautifulness) of the world: "Las Ramblas". In "Las Ramblas" you can see a lot of artists with their sympathy way to make the people laughing. You can also visit an another walkway whose name is "La Rambla del mar". Here you have a wonderful view of the Mediterranean. You can also visit "La Plaza de Catalunya" where you can buy a lot of things in "El Corte Inglés" (like Harrods). You can have your "relax time" in one of the wonderfulness beach ...
