Built in 1995, part of a huge project to rejuvenate a downtrodden part of town, this is a three-story emporium based on the California model. It has more than 230 shops, some posh and others far from it. Most people head here for the Carrefour department stores, the cheaper cousin of El Corte Inglés that mainly sells electrical and home goods. Although there's a typical shopping-mall anonymity to some aspects of this place, it's great for kids, with lots of open spaces and bouncy things to jump on. Open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 10pm. Av.
