One of the largest shopping malls in Barcelona, actually located in the coastal Sant Martí district in the northeast of the city (outside the six adopted districts in this round); attributed here to the Eixample as its nearest adopted district, with its real distance and need for dedicated metro or bus transit explicitly noted, similar to comparable cases previously documented for Vienna's malls outside its adopted districts.
