El Corte Inglés

Spain's department store colossus is both loved and hated, but successfully performs the main task of a department store, which is to offer most things to most people. Here you find designer fashions, their own low and medium-priced lines, enormous perfumery and make-up departments, leather goods in all price ranges, toys, children's clothes, art materials, food and delicatessen, home furnishing devices and garden furniture. There is a large Corte Inglés department store near Plaza España and a smaller one next to the old city centre on Jaime III.

Shopping

Palma is a great place for shopping. The broad avenues around Plaza España have everything, from local curio shops selling tin soldiers to specialists selling Serrano ham. Ladies who want to buy clothes, head for the large Corte Inglés. However, more exciting and packed with small boutiques and designer names is the area behind Bar Bosch right opposite the H&M shop in central Palma by Plaza Joan Carlos l. For a more local flavour, the best market is to be found in Sineu on Wednesdays.
