I'm not a fan of the fashion but it's based in Barcelona, and the space is a vibe. It's like a fancy museum that meets rich aunt's closet. I'm a Prada person but this was cool to see.

I would strongly recommend this store. Initially I did not intend to enter this store since I was…read moreaiming at another brand. I was attracted by the storefront so I checked in. The store decor is very cozy and the staffs are extremely knowledgeable and attentive. We were delighted by our sale representative Luis. He is extremely patient to explain the history of the company and the specific detail of the leather good that completely changed my view of the brand. I would certainly go back to this store to purchase more items.

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.

A trip to Barcelona is not complete without my going to the Desigual Outlet. I've purchased many…read morethings in previous years. The sales are better in the summer. In July of 2016 I purchased several items. But this was May. Not only was the selection limited, but the discounts were mostly 30 percent. I did see a beautiful jean jacket with an evil eye broche. I would have purchased it. But the medium one fit me tight. They didn't have a large one. Desigual runs small. If you go when the big sales are going on in the summer in Spain, I recommend you visit. Maybe they'll have more merchandise and better prices.

I agree with absolutely everthing Maria S. wrote in her previous review, if you're outside of…read moreEurope, read her notes as they will be more useful than mine. I like Desigual's colourful clothes, but the pricing is somewhat harsh to me, so I was really happy that I discovered this outlet and could buy a few new pieces for my boyfriend and myself 50 or even 70 percent off. The highlight of the shopping experience was that Desigual is running a promotion in Summer 2016, and as our purchase exceeded a certain value, we were treated to a 90 minute complimentary boat trip. Luckily enough, there were still spots for the next day, so we could take our only chance to use our vouchers. I find the idea just brilliant and added a really nice memory to our holiday in Barcelona. Unfortunately I can also report about their exchange process now - I did not check one of the items well enough and only noticed at the hotel that it was a bit damaged by the 50 percent off badge. There were no other dresses like that in my size, so I took another one - everything ran quickly and flawlessly.

Food on one floor makes it so convenient when you're hungry and want to grab a bite while shopping. This place is huge and has something for everyone.

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!
