It literally felt like I was in Disney Land with attractions on every one of the five floors, each one more creative then the next. The fifth floor was a full service cocktail bar called Nimura, with emphasis on Organic spirits "Raima 1986" and "Rawal Dry Gin" along with tap beer. The bar extends out to a patio garden for fun and spirits. We grabbed some drinks and browsed the area. Lots of colorful stationary and calligraphy ink pens. The retro vinyl records and the vintage record player was a nice touch. Multi colored recycled purses lined the walls. So many cool items in this store that were nicely organized in separate displays each telling their own story and some even surrounded by vintage furniture.

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.
