From high-end designers to funky second-hand and vintage shops, read on for our best Barcelona shopping tips while in the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Portal de l’Angel<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One of the busiest pedestrian streets in Spain begins right at the south edge of Pla\u00e7a Catalunya. It eventually forks, leading in one direction to the Gothic Cathedral<\/a> and in the other, more shopping. Portal de l’Angel is probably the most concentrated area of big names like Zara, H&M and the like. Fear not however as it also makes room for smaller ones like Natura<\/a> or the high-quality Basque brand Loreak Mendian.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

El Born<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It’s hard to believe that just 20 years ago the Born neighborhood<\/a> was an extremely seedy area of Barcelona. Today, it is one of the city’s hippest neighborhoods. It is known for independent, trend-setting fashion. The charming narrow streets display original boutiques of all sorts, mostly focused on very stylish, high-quality clothing, shoes, and accessories. The neighborhood is a bit of a labyrinth. Furthermore, some of the best shops are hidden on some of its smallest streets. Start out either on Carrer Rec, Flassaders or Mirallers, and let the roaming begin.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Calle Tallers<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Another busy pedestrian street, Tallers is the place to go for second-hand fare. Pay-by-the-kilo vintage and record shops fill these quaint streets. Barcelona’s version of Camden is lively, though a bit rough around the edges and by far one of the most important alternative shopping areas in the city.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Rambla de Catalunya<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

One street over from Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia\u00a0finds Rambla de Catalunya, its younger, and perhaps a bit less pretentious, sibling. Lined with restaurant cafes <\/a>and all types of shopping, from Sephora<\/a> to Petit Bateau.<\/a>\u00a0It offers up a great variety of stores as well as lovely terraces perfect for people-watching while sipping on a\u00a0cafe con leche<\/a>.\u00a0<\/em>Take a look at the video below to get a quick glimpse inside one of our favorite places, Granja Viader.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
