Fodor's Review:

West of and parallel to Highway 111, El Paseo is a mile-long Mediterranean-style avenue with fountains and courtyards, French and Italian fashion boutiques, shoe salons, jewelry stores, children's shops, 28 restaurants, and nearly 30 art galleries. The pretty strip is a pleasant place to stroll, window-shop, people-watch, and exercise your credit cards. Each January, the Palm Desert Golf Cart Parade (760/346-6111. www.golfcartparade.com) celebrates golf with a procession of 100 carts disguised as floats buzzing up and down El Paseo.

Go here for upmarket shopping - Saks, Tiffanys, etc. Plenty of free parking available.
