Westfield Glòries is a large, semi-open shopping and leisure complex at the heart of the 22@ technology district. Far removed from the traditional enclosed shopping centre, its avenues bring together fashion shops, cinemas and places to take a break beneath Barcelona’s open skies. The real highlight is El Mercat, a food space that moves beyond fast food in favour of creative cooking and fresh produce. Part of the neighbourhood’s everyday life, it works equally well for shopping or an impromptu break.
This is good to know
The shopping centre offers customers two hours of free parking a day. Worth bearing in mind if you want to browse, try things on and make up your mind without rushing.
If you want to avoid the usual fast-food chains, the food court has a good selection of quality local food.
