When it opened in 2008, Quinta Alegria became Playa’s second and largest mall at about the midway point of Avenida 5. Indoors is an array of over 30 retailers on three floors overlooking a relaxed, plaza-like setting. Among the brands are Body Shop, Victoria’s Secret, Nike, Levi’s and Forever 21 anchored by Sanborns, a Mexican department store with a terrific terrace restaurant. Quinta Alegria also hosts a couple of ice cream stores including Haagen-Dazs plus Starbucks and La Europea, a terrific liquor store with a wide selection.
