I really enjoyed all their locations in Spain. The stores were always well organized with plenty of…read moresopping options and well staffed with friendly and helpful employees. The intimate or lingerie department had beautiful and high quality lines as well as designs made in Spain at reasonable prices. The extended return policy also helps if not trying on items in the store or in a hurry. Their stores are multi levels food and grocery items in the lower level, perfumes shoes, handbags electronics on second, women's, men's etc. don't know how many of you will relate but back in the day "Burdines" which is now known as Macy's only had Restaurants in their stores and La Corte Inglés has a wonderful restaurant that brought back memories. Didn't want to give away my age but it's like saying I'm from the era of whoolworth's, Tom McCann Shoes, tube TV's, cellular phones were a brick and Wordstar was the it program lol! I definitely recommend you visit La Corte Inglés for the experience. Their window displays are like the old fashioned ones. The decorations throughout the entire store was impressive. If you can visit late November to mid December you will be blown away. Hasta luego,

El Corte Inglés S.A. (English: The English Cut as in tailor's cut) is Spain's only remaining…read moredepartment store chain, as well as owner of several associated businesses. The primary flagship store for the chain is located in Madrid at 79, Raimundo Fernández Villaverde Street. It encompasses several buildings and carries the most comprehensive collection of designers of any large store in Spain. I briefly coaxed Gayle into one building of the Madrid Complex sometime during the evening before Día de la Hispanidad. El Corte Inglés was also close to the Hotel, so why not? I don't recall what I was looking for, but I remember the entire place to be packed with people. We walked and shopped around, but left relatively quickly. After all, we didn't come to Spain to spend too much time in a large equivalent of Macy's. And as Gayle and I later traveled through Bilboa, San Sebastian, Girona, or Barcelona, there was a El Corte Inglés around just in case we changed our mind. Yet, there's a grocery store in the basement and one always needs wine and nibbles on the road......

El Corte Inglés is a massive department store with 11 floors to explore!…read moreThey've got brands like Longchamp, Bimba y Lola, Samsonite, Sephora, Balmain, Brunello Cucinelli, and more. You could definitely spend the entire day here, with all the stuff they have. Beauty products, perfumes/colognes, clothes, luggages, food... what more could you ask for! Honestly, better than most malls we have in Massachusetts.

It's huge! It's convenient! It's inventory is fantastic! It's El Corte Inglés! For all you shopping…read moredesires, you can't go wrong at this mall! So many floors of everything you could want or need. It's well organized and the staff is helpful! We went in the get a belt for my hubby, and found a plethora of choices! We ended up purchasing 2 and they were excellent quality and value priced for the designer brand. We walked around just to "window shop" and enjoyed the displays and the gorgeous clothing. They restrooms are super clean and fresh. Your one stop shop for whatever you're looking for... it's here!

Was a cool place to shop away from the center. On a weekday, crowds weren't too bad & the parking…read moregarage offers 3 hours of free parking woo! I found the options for clothes and shoes excellent, stores were all very clean and organized. The food options were limited if you like to grab food while you shop. I had a small snack from Cafe & Te but other than that, I didn't see much. Overall, it's a nice mall with good options, wouldn't make a day out of it - but it was a well kept mall!

I always go shopping here and I love it. This magnificent marble shopping center is fresh, different and beautifully built. You can find pretty much everything you are looking for and there's always some new store every time I go. You can find restaurants, cafes, huge variety of clothes/shoe stores, cinema theater and much more! It's usually very alive and crowded during winter but it can get a bit quite during the summer. I love the fact that I can find all of my favorite stores here. Outside the mall there's other stores such as Media markt, Ikea, other furniture stores and a big supermarket. It's 20/30 min away from Madrid center but totally worth the trip! STRONGLY RECOMMENDED FOR TOURISTS! You can get there by bus or by subway (which is like a 10 min walk from there). I would recommend to go by bus since it stops right outside the mall but the subway works as well! For those of you getting there by car: 3h free indoor parking or outdoor parking (unlimited free hours). The architecture is stunning, you will love it!!

They have everything, I am impressed that they are still staying in business with all the online retail these days. They literally have everything here, I wish this store was in Florida, so many things (especially furniture) that I would love to have at home! The prices were great, but just getting it home would be the issue. There are 8 floors of stuff, and you could spend hours in there looking, They also have a post office there. The staff were great, they spoke good english and helped me find things. And, FOOD! You can eat a full meal there, but I choose to eat other places. They also have a tourist area, where you can purchase gifts to bring home. I love this place!

September 2024 this El Corte Ingles was under construction. Walking into the building parts of the…read moreground floor were cordoned off behind floor to ceiling tarp. Some of the middle floors between the 5th and 9th floors were completely closed while others were partially accessible. Heading up to the 9th floor first, on a Monday around noon it was fairly empty, maybe a couple dozen tourists wandering around or ordering some late breakfast /early lunch. About a dozen food options with both restaurant-specific and shared seating areas. Shelves of numerous gourmet food ingredients and gifts, fill the rest of the floor, along with a wide selection of wines. What's also nice about this location is the rooftop terrace which runs along one southwest side of the building, with mostly unobstructed views of the surrounding city rooftops. The basement levels contain a supermarket, and also a food court level that was under construction when I was there. They have all the normal grocery store categories here, good spot to pick up some food souvenirs too!

Walked here from the Templo de Debod!

They have a little food court on the second floor with two Chinese styled buffets, kfc, burger fast food, and cafes. But most importantly, there's tons of sales going on. It's a great place to retreat from the sun.

Loved this Starbucks!…read more A great place to stop in for an ice cold drink on a hot, hot day! We came here twice during our 3 day visit. Not only are we big fans of Starbucks, in general, but we especially love finding exceptional ones, such as this one! Great service... Friendly and quick, good food and and drinks! An EXTRA PLUS for us was their ultra comfy sofa like arm chairs.... Sooo comfortable that we didn't want to get up!! Three thumbs up for this Starbucks!!! We'll def be back on our next trip over!!
