Okay wait ... whoever decided to turn an old bullfighting arena into a shopping mall kinda ate…read morebecause this place was SUCH a vibe. I stayed nearby during my trip to Barcelona, and I found myself coming back here multiple times just to recharge, cool off, grab food, shop a little, and honestly decompress without feeling overstimulated. It's super spacious, busy in a lively way, but never felt packed or chaotic. You can actually breathe in here unlike some tourist spots. There's also SO much to do. I randomly walked in and saw the BLACKPINK Deadline pop up shop and BABY I was gagged. Didn't expect that at all. The mall has a really fun mix of stores, little experiences, food spots, and just enough going on to keep it interesting without becoming exhausting. My friend and I also did the IKONO selfie museum inside and had an absolute blast. Definitely one of those unexpectedly fun experiences that ended up becoming a highlight of the trip. Overall, this was one of my favorite places in Barcelona to just exist for a little bit. Shop, wander, sit down, recharge, people watch, grab last minute essentials, all without feeling overwhelmed. I would make this a stop on my next visit to Barcelona.

The Arenas de Barcelona originally opened as a boxing and bullfighting arena in the year 1900…read more Eventually bullfighting became illegal, and since then the arena has been repurposed into a shopping mall with dozens of stores and restaurants. In the shopping mall, some businesses are local, and others are international chains. Nevertheless, I think that the businesses offer a decent variety for fashion, accessories, beauty products, foods, and much more. This arena truly is a sight to see.

It has a relaxed atmosphere with a mix of fashion stores, cafés, restaurants, and beautiful views of the boats and the Mediterranean. It's an easy place to spend a couple of hours, especially after exploring the nearby waterfront. The location is one of the best features of this mall. Sitting outside with a drink or a meal while overlooking the marina was a nice break from the busy streets of the city. The shopping center is also close to attractions like the Columbus Monument, the Aquarium, and La Rambla.

La Maquinista is the largest shopping mall in Catalonia and one of the largest in Spain. It is home…read moreto a large number of brands, including one of two Apple Stores in Barcelona. The mall takes advantage of Spain's weather as it's open while retaining partial shelter, it gives the feel you are outside. If visiting the mall via public transport, you can head to Sant Andreu Station on the Metro, and it is walkable from there, I do think it's a missed opportunity that there isn't a nearer metro station, as it is a 15-minute walk or so, although there is a train station closer, I'm not sure about services offered from there as I used the Metro. It's fairly easy to find what you're looking for around the mall, they have signs leading to the larger and more popular stores including Carrefour and Apple. Other international brands located here include Adidas, Decathlon, Deichmann, Dyson, JD Sports, Kiko Milano, Lego, Levi's, Nike, Pandora, Starbucks, Urban Outfitters. 4* - If you're looking to shop in Barcelona, whether you're a local or even a tourist who might have forgotten to pack something, this is one of your best options. It's a modern and attractive mall with a good selection of stores while seeming much less busy than the city centre - especially at Apple!

This time we browsed each of the 6+ floors they have and realized they stock a huge selection of fashion, shoes, home items and food goods. I was very impressed at the quality of their goods and the friendly service of all associates in each department. The highlight was visiting their cafe restaurant on the top floor. They had everything from paella, pizza & pasta, Asian, baked goods to desserts. The dining area with its expansive views was worth the visit alone.

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.

El Corte Inglés is a huge department store over 8 floors in Barcelona, yet it is a store dwarfed by…read moreanother branch of El Corte Inglés on the Plaça de Catalunya, also in Barcelona, but moving back to the review in question, this store is impressive mainly down to its size, it feels like a mall in a way with 8 floors and an extra 2 floors of parking. The size of the store can be mixed, in a way it is good as it is slightly smaller than the other branches but still has a good range, and is slightly less busy too, which is a good thing as it means for me, a nicer shopping experience. There is a restaurant on the top floor, known as Floor 5 meanwhile there are two floors after the 0 Floor / Ground called SS and S, the bottom floor "S" has customer services, in this store you can find a lot of things from fashion for men, women and children to a small Dietics supermarket and cosmetics, bags, jewelry, gifts and furniture, the later all being on the -1 / SS floor. The staff around the mall didn't seem too welcoming or friendly or even active in engaging with the customers which is the shame. For me however, this store even with the store guide at the front in english as well as spanish, was just too difficult to navigate and that was a real shame, and although the size of this store is impressive, it is pretty much an average department store in terms of range, and is perhaps too big, which is shocking knowing this is only Barcelona's second largest branch of the chain.
