Friends we dined with asked what we'd been doing so far in Lisbon and we asked the same of them…read more El Corte Inglés wasn't just on their recommended list; It also came to me in a text message the following day, reminding me that I should go there. Wow. Amongst the things I didn't even know that I was pining away for, add an 8-story+ department store that is everything to everyone. We entered in a very high-end part of the store featuring all the luxury brands one knows then descended to a food court and movie theaters. From there, I moved on to explore the amazing lower-level supermarket before leaving there and strolling into the beauty/pharmacy department filled with products that both are and aren't available in the US. I took the escalator up, eyeballing what each floor held before disembarking at a floor featuring home furnishings, electronics, housewares, and Christmas decor then got together with my friends for a drink at a wine bar on the top floor. Someone else could write a book on all I likely missed here but what I saw guaranteed that from here on I'll be searching for El Corte Inglése in every place I travel. If you think it's odd to have a department store on your must-see list in Lisbon it's clear that you've not yet been to El Corte Inglés.

This is a living fossil with a checkout counter. Grab a book and soak in the centuries.

Loved the little details like the flowers wrapped around the top of every hanger. And the tea bags- not sure what that's about. I mean, I get it's the name of the store, but is this also some sachet trick? Bring your Portuguese translator or just the cash to transact here.

I like the…read morehuge variety of yogurt available there - when you've gone down the long yogurt aisle, there still the sales on the ends. And if that's not enough - just to the side of the produce there's an organic food section with more yogurt. There's a good selection of wines, though the Continente in the Cascais Shopping Center has more variety. And and overwhelming selection of cheeses - most Portuguese (many from goat and sheep milk) but some from other parts of Europe. There's a few items in the meat section that would be unusual to North Americans, such as whole skinned rabbits, tongue and all, and small packages containing 10 tiny birds, frozen, the whole thing just weighing a couple hundred grams, for Euro 6.50 There's also a big selection of non-food items. One section is even a small music store, only about three meters wide, with electric guitars, strings, amps, picks - whatever you'd need to rock out, at least small-scale.... Plenty of computers and accessories, phones, etc., auto supplies, and on and on. There's another floor above this with some small shops, and a large parking area, both in front of the Jumbo and on the roof. There's toilets (free) on both floors, and a Multibanco Caixa automatico.

They were accommodating in terms of language preferences, and the overall value for the items purchased was noteworthy. Overall, I would consider returning in the future. An added benefit was the proximity of another location very near to each other.

I poo pooed the very idea. Me. Sit. Not likely even as my joints ached and creaked. But my wife was pointing to a chair with a battery operated back massage contraption at €30 (so it's not cheap tat). I switched it on and sat for twenty minutes and I gotta tell ya it was delightful - the contraption worked wonders in the small of my back. I was surrounded by mostly overpriced most likely Chinese rubbish made from variations of plastic and other chemicals. I cannot conceive of a single item worth buying but I do confess to the delights of the Chinese made massage contraption. The reality was though that within 5 minutes of leaving the Hop all the pains and aches re commenced, still it was enjoyable for the time I sat. If tats your thing and buying stuff you can't conceivably ever need this is your dream emporium.
