Destination Barcelona
There are already numerous reasons to visit Barcelona. But what if you add the possibility of doing excellent shopping? And cheaply? That’s right, there are lots of chances to do really good shopping in the city at a very reasonable price.
First thing: in Barcelona there is a real “shopping road”, especially dedicated to clothing, with both international chains and local design boutiques. The street begins at Port Vell and moves along to the Avinguda Diagonal, for a whole 15kilometres with many streets having bin made pedestrian zones. All the shops are of a high quality and the long walk also allows you to discover the beautiful attractions of the city. For info about these sights along the way, you can find useful information in one of the many Barcelona blogs available on the internet.
If you are looking for the best shops in town, famous brands and world famous designers, you absolutely have to go along Passeig de Gracia. If you are seeking a shopping mall equipped with everything you can not miss El Corte Ingles in Plaça Catalunya, L’Lille in Diagonal 557 and Maremagnum near to Port Vell. In these three areas you can find comfortable Barcelona apartments (or Barcellona appartamenti), ideal for visiting the city, as well as excellent rooms in Barcelona hotels (or Appartamenti barcellona).
In the centre, a marvellous invention has been implemented since a very lonbg time. In Barcelona, an original Shopping Bus Line exists; a line of buses that move through the most commercial area, giving access to all those who are searching for the best shopping experience. You can buy a special shopping travel card that will allow you to get on and off the busses as many times as you want in order to make the most of your shopping experience.
Leaving aside for a moment all of the clothes shopping posibilitiea, you absolutely have to visit La Boqueria market along Las Ramblas. A colourful and vibrant market full of food produce: like fruit and vegetables from all around the world. The market is a real feast for your eyes.
Some practical information on business hours (so that you always find the shops when they’re open): the opening times are normally separated into two parts; morning trade takes place at 10 to 14h and afternoon trade from 16.30 to 20h, while shopping centres are generally open all day.
Consult the list of available Barcelona accommodation (or Barcellona hotel), you can find some very interesting offers that you shouldn’t miss. Decide the one you like and book it as soon as possible!
