There are many famous Spanish brands including Custo (worn by the cast of "Friends" and the only Spanish designer with a store on 5th Avenue in New York), Zara, Massimo Dutti, Agatha Ruiz and Tous. The city also hosts various fashion shows during the year such as such as 080 fashion, presented all local designers and your creations. It's no surprise that Barcelona is a large city in shop but must know where.

Rambla Mar bridge at the bottom of Las Ramblas cross is del a shopping mall "Maremagnum" - this is a great place to pick up some Barcelona souvenirs from the official FC Barcelona memory, or pick up a bargain at "Lefties" - Zara outlet store.There are some modern Spanish designer shops like Desigual, along with the classics like H & M, and some smaller boutique shops with Paris shoes and belt or sexy Dessous.Und don't worry if you slightly tired, there is a caf? in the Middle, not to mention Haagen DaaS, Ben and Jerry's, Starbucks and a McDonalds!

Christmas shopping in Barcelona


Shopping in the Catalan capital of Barcelona is one of the best things to do, apart from visiting many of the cultural and historical heritage has to offer the Mediterranean city sites. Shopping malls and small winding streets full of shops are the hub of the Centre which gives city - the old town or CASC Antiguo - and there are certainly some bargains to have if you know the right places. Also, keep in mind that if you are visiting from outside the EU, you again simply collect all tax on your purchases - a form in a can claim the shops that have the tax free logo in the window. Take all the accesses to the window in Terminal B at the airport and you will be sent a check for the difference of the tax! Here is my walk-through Guide for your Christmas shopping.

I would on the famous Passeig de Gracia start Street - this is where all major brands and designer boutiques are, as well as some small malls like Boulevard Rosa only later from Valencia road. This is a great place to start, how you can have a coffee or breakfast on the terrace (remember, the winter in Barcelona are very mild and generally sunny during the day!) next to one of Gaud?'s masterpieces such as Casa Batll? and La Pedrera. Here you can pick up some fashion ideas from the big names such as Gucci, Armani, Fendi, etc. even if your wallet allow the real thing not. Many of the smaller shops rebuild similar fashions, so it is a great place to some ideas begin! Passeig de Gracia is the most important branches of Spanish giant Zara and classics like Levis and adidas.Huge department store El Corte Ingl?s wouldn't continue South towards Palca Catalunya, and by the ?bergeben.Ich bother go in here to be honest, how did all this, you could find in your own hometown and is like a huge department store.

It is a fact that leather is very cheap in Spain and Barcelona is no exception, so the ladies take advantage of great rates for belts, bags and shoes. cross Pla?a Catalunya and drink from the fountain of Canaletes, if you want (legend has it that if you drink from the fountain will return one day to Barcelona) and up Carrer Pelai, meander to the Pla?a Universitat. This, together with the near located Portal del Angel is that best place your shoes to pick up, and not only expect winter boots - Barcelona's mild climate means that it is always a selection of great shoes at attractive prices.

As mentioned, Zara has many downtown stores, but also two outlet stores where many grabbed a bargain can - the store name is lefties and a branch is up at the end of the Cerrer Pelai. Time to journey back across Pla?a Catalunya and get off at Portal del Angel Street to start the Gothic shopping trip.Portal del Angel is a wide road mainly pedestrian zone and speichern.An of junction on the lower left head towards the city cathedral is a great place for more shoes, latest fashions and CDs, books and more from the second El Corte Ingl?s and Christmas is a great mix of old and new. Catalonian specialities and traditional crib decorations can be found here along with the "Cagatio" - a comic which sign children feed until Christmas is full until you, and "Poos" gifts (no, really). Also the "Caganen" - is one other integral part each Manger scene that is a man (modern versions can be your favorite Barca player or politician) also over "Fertilizer" Earth crouched.

Doubling back on yourself, leads back to Carrer Portaferrissa - the entrance to the old city (Portaferrissa means iron gate) and one of most important shopping streets in Barcelona.Find a wide range of local shops, perfume shops, as well as high street brands and some arts and crafts shops for this special gifts with you Barcelona stamp.At the end of the Prtaferrissa cross Las Ramblas in Carrer Carmen erreichen.Hier Rambla del Raval until you find a fantastic multicultural market full of local designers and their modern creations - the next Custo or Agatha Ruiz de la Prada here guys ist.Spazieren La Rambla del Raval and follow Drassanes until you Memorial cross the end of Las Ramblas and Christopher Columbus min. Rambla del Mar bridge and reach the Maremagnum is komplex.Dies a large shopping mall on two levels, where you can find stylish Spanish designer shops like Desigual, Massimo Dutti, pull and bear along with classics like H & M, and it's even a few ice cream cafes to top up this energy levels!
