Answer 1

Shopping areas in Barcelona are spread across the whole city and differ considerably. The world famous Las Ramblas start at Plaça Catalunya and end at Barcelona’s harbour. Enjoy the colourful atmosphere with numerous street performers, painters and cages with birds for sale. Even though known as a famous shopping street, Las Ramblas are only interesting if you are eager to buy tourist souvenirs of Barcelona or watch the artists; there are definitely more exciting areas to shop in the city.

To find famous brands like Chanel, Armani, Cartier, Miró, Mont Blanc or Zara, visit Plaça Catalunya, Passeig de Gràcia or Diagonal. All international labels can be found here.

Shopping alternatives to the big brands offer the narrow streets of El Born. Still not widely known as shopping area it is stimulating to stroll around the winding streets of the old town and discover small shops, new labels and innovative designers.

The Barrí Gotic (Gothic Area) invites you to combine shopping and culture. The Roman centre of Barcelona accommodates numerous bizarre antique shops, small bookstores and young fashion designers.

Last but not least visit El Raval if you are looking for music stores, second hand shops, or alternative clothing. The international population of this district contributes to an interesting mixture of foreign supermarkets, people from different countries and international clothes shops.
