Much more than shopping in the heart of Madrid |
 | Welcome to El Corte Inglés, the third largest mall chain in the world! It has more than 80 shopping centers in Spain and Portugal, and is the leader in fashion sales in the region. El Corte Inglés Castellana (Castellana) in Madrid and Diagonal (Diaagonal) in Barcelona combine thousands of international brands in one place and provide the opportunity to enjoy luxury shopping, including fine restaurants and restorative wellness treatments. |
Advantages for foreign tourists
| El Corte Inglés also features a tourist-oriented service. As a welcome gift, a foreign client receives an invitation for a glass of wine and a local tapa snack, and can also issue a VAT refund (up to 15.7%) right in the center. In April, our center launches a new campaign for foreign tourists. Now, upon arrival at the shopping center, foreign tourists will be able to receive a cumulative gift card, which accumulates 10% of the purchases made. The accumulated amount can be used for subsequent purchases in our shopping centers. |
