Palmares Shopping Mall is located 15 minutes south of the city of Mendoza. With 10 movie theaters, 120 stores (primarily authentic Argentine brands), and many restaurants, most notably the quintessial Argentine steakhouse, Don Mario. Popular Argentine stores well worth checking out before or after working up your appetite include Eva Miller for the ladies, and La Martina for men and women. If you're a Starbucks junkie, Palmares now has one.
Our tip: When ordering popcorn at the movies, go for the dulce. It will take you back to the days of Cracker Jacks. Add salt for a salted caramel-ish flavor.
