Discover the new Westfield La Maquinista

From the completion of its renovation to joining the Westfield family, our Barcelona shopping centre had a packed year. 2021 was a time of renewal for this pioneering open shopping destination.

In March 2021, our Spanish flagship in Barcelona officially completed its renovations. The project, which began in late 2019, involved transforming the centre into a more attractive version of itself, while welcoming an additional retail mix of 19 premium fashion, food and leisure venues. This represented the largest move in the Spanish retail sector concentrated in one shopping centre in recent times, a significant achievement in the midst of the COVID-19 crisis. These projects and the new store openings created around 200 direct jobs, primarily aimed at young adults, in a sector particularly affected by the crisis.

In addition to Dyson and L’Occitane, some of the most-awaited brands, such as Abercrombie & Fitch and Urban Outfitters, are opening their first and second stores in Spain at La Maquinista. The UK sneaker giant JD Sports, as well as the Japanese brand Uniqlo also settled with us, helping to make Westfield La Maquinista Barcelona’s new fashion destination.

The dining experience was also being strengthened, with the extension of “Las Terrazas” to many new concepts, including KFC, Farggi, Saona, Poke House and Raisu. La Maquinista also took its food offer to a new level by creating an open-air gastronomy market called LA CITI, which opened in April. With its spectacular terraces making it an ideal place to meet and share good times while complying with the latest sanitary measures, LA CITI will bring together several vans serving street food, with concepts that have already made a name for themselves in Spain, such as Mosquitos, Machete and Chivuo’s.

On 30 September, 2020, La Maquinista became Westfield La Maquinista, in a move that brought with it the renowned Westfield standards in terms of events, experiences and services, as well as additional retailers and new partnerships with brands. Today, Westfield La Maquinista brings together fashion, leisure and food in one place: the largest shopping centre in Catalonia.
