<HTML><FONT FACE=arial,helvetica><FONT SIZE=2 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0">El Corte is a kind of expensive but good chain store found all over Spain & now Lisbon. <BR>
<BR>
They have everything there is to have in the (un)civilized world! <BR>
<BR>
I've bought a lot of clothes there, not cheap. <BR>
<BR>
They do have an outlet: Oportunidades. <BR>
<BR>
The saying in Spain is that: "if u cannot find it at el Corte, it doesn't exist!) <BR>
<BR>
Their big plug is that they give u ur $ back if unsatisfied. <BR>
<BR>
Not K-Mart, etc., more like...Macey's with a supermarket?...hmm...what do u all think?<BR>

The department store called K-Mart/WalMart may be El Corte Ingles(sp?). They are a cut above K/WalMart. Good for the adapter you forgot to bring. Also has a supermarket for food.<BR>
