    El Corte Ingles: Find Almost Anything That You Need

  • You will find El Corte Ingles in all of the bigger Cities in Spain. In Barcelona alone there are 4 locations. I visited the location at Pl. de Catalunya at the head of Las Rambles.

    The grocery section of all El Corte Ingles stores can be found in the basement. This is a great place to go if you're looking to pick up some groceries for a picnic, need to grab a quick bottle of water or soda or just want to have a look around to see what they eat in Spain. You'll find everything that you need at reasonable prices here.

    Head upstairs to the ground floor and in most The grocery section of all El Corte Ingles stores you will find gifts, souvenirs, jewelry, perfume and sometimes toiletries.

    On to the first floor (second floor for those in the US) and above you will find clothes for men and women, sporting goods, luggage, a travel agent, etc... This place has everything and is very convenient.

    You can buy just about anything that you need at El Corte Ingles from groceries to clothing, from luggage to airplane tickets and from Antonio Bandaras cologne to a snow globe with a bull in it.

    Prices at El Corte Ingles are very reasonable. I prefer to go here to stock up on water for the day as the prices are much less expensive. For example, you might pay up to 1 Euro for a small bottle of water in a random shop in a tourist area. At El Corte Ingles you can pick up a large bottle for about .40 Euro.

    El Corte Ingles is Spain's most famous department store chain.

    In Plaza Catalunya there is the biggest store of this chain in Barcelona. Here; on the basement you can find a huge supermarket where you can find some gift to take home. I mean something typical from Spain.

    Turron (see tip on my Spain page; what to buy...); wines.

    El Corte Inglés is a very big chain of department stores in Spain. Throughout the city of Barcelona you can find a lot of them. The biggest one you can find on Plaça Catalunya. I found another one somewhere in the business district near the Intercontinental hotel, which had great x-mas lights.

    El Corte Ingles: Expensive stuff

    by codrutz
    El Corte Ingles is Spain's largest department store chain, founded all the way back in 1934. Now the big company that exist in all important cities of Spain takes its name from a little shop that made in 1890 tailored clothes for children.

    I found the ones (there was three) in Barcelona to have a lot of things but I found the clothes to be a little expensive that I thought. I mean there were designer clothes and accessories for the ones that wants to shop for the brand name.

    What a huge department store.
    I actually like this one-stop shopping store. It sells everything from a garden rake to Kobe beef (180 Euro/kg).
    The supermarket is on the lower level, and is a very nice store to get most things you might need.

    El Corte Inglés is the paradise of tourists, specially the paradise of italian tourists!. Don't ask me why because it is very expensive!!!
    Another thing that i have never understood is that spring always arrives first in El Corte Inglés than in Barcelona...still cold...
    One good thing is that it's opened until 22,00 (poor sales assistants) which is very comfortable in a city where people go out of their offices at 19,00-20,00.
    This picture was taken on 24th december at 9.50, 10minutes before opening its doors...crazy world...

    You will find here everything....but you will pay more for it

    Everything is more expensive than in other shops around
