Centro Comercial Glories
Centro Comercial Glories is an open air shopping center, which opened in 1995 located in the El Clot neighbourhood, near to the intersection of Gran Via and Avinguida Diagonal. It’s considered one of the first shopping centres to have an open plan design incorporating outside space into its layout. In the shopping center itself, there are over 160 shops across 3 floors. A Carrefour hypermarket, a cinema and many restaurants. It is a great place to shop and makes a refreshing change to the usual crowded and claustrophobic shopping center.
This up-and-coming area is undergoing a major makeover project to change the old industrial area of Poblenou into a technological and innovative district.
