This is my kind of shop: girly, feminine, colorful, light- and not so much stuff you can't see. Got…read morea really cute maxi dress here and they had bright tops, pant outfits that seem to be all the rage of late, and bags and jewelry--oh and a few little soap type gift items. Cash only. 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 was drawn into the store by a dress in the window--that I ended up buying. The one in the…read moremannequin on the right. They have a bunch of fun bags and nicely designed pieces of clothing in here. There is a dressing room to try stuff on and they do take credit cards- yay, because not everywhere does. This season, looks like deep plum colors are in fashion. Very feminine and affordable.

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.

Unfortunately most of their clothes are now made in China and it shows, it is complete and utter junk. Even though the shirt was only 25 euros on sale, if you can only wear it once it is simply too expensive. I wish companies would stop making their clothes in China.
