Barcelona shopping districts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We can’t talk about where to shop in Barcelona without first mentioning its premier shopping avenue: the majestic, magnificent Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Envisioned as Barcelona’s most elegant street\u2014a place for the 19th century bourgeoisie to see and be seen<\/a>\u2014it remains impeccable even today. Graced by two Gaud\u00ed masterpieces, Casa Mil\u00e0 and Casa Batll\u00f3, it exudes chicness while retaining a certain Catalan charm.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping scene<\/strong>: You’ll likely recognize many of the brand names that line Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia in the form of stylish storefronts. Iconic international fashion houses such as Versace, Prada and Louis Vuitton can all be found here. Additionally, you’ll also see the flagship stores of many Spanish brands, such as Zara.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pla\u00e7a de Sant Josep Oriol<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Looking for a more offbeat option for where to shop in Barcelona? Pla\u00e7a de Sant Josep Oriol<\/a> is calling your name.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Though best-known for its weekend art market<\/a>, the plaza also provides an authentic glimpse at the everyday lives of Barcelona locals\u2014a rarity in the increasingly touristy historic center. It serves as a meeting spot for residents of the Catalan capital setting off to shop, grab coffee, or simply take a walk with friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping scene<\/strong>: As the aforementioned art market may have had you guess, this plaza boasts an unmistakably bohemian vibe. Check out the independent boutiques and artists’ shops in the area surrounding the square.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

El Raval<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

A onetime no-go area that’s become a vibrant and fascinating area in its own right in recent years, El Raval<\/a> is far from Barcelona’s prettiest neighborhood. It’s gritty, loud, and a far cry from the bright, boisterous charm of the neighboring Gothic Quarter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And that’s exactly why we love it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

There’s always something happening in this eclectic neighborhood, one of Barcelona’s most diverse and multicultural. Expect a more alternative, artsy vibe here, and cheaper prices across the board compared to the city’s other central districts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping scene<\/strong>: From gorgeous, locally made clothing and accessories to offbeat record and book shops, El Raval just about has it all. Particularly of note is trendy Calle Riera Baixa, reminiscent of London’s famed Camden district.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Avinguda Diagonal<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

In a similar vein to Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia, which it intersects, Avinguda Diagonal<\/a> gives off an undeniably chic vibe. As its name implies, it bisects the city diagonally, unintentionally creating a fascinating divide in its wake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To the south of this famous street lie the Barcelona neighborhoods most visitors know: the Gothic Quarter, Born, Barceloneta and the like. But head north, and you’ll find yourself exploring a totally different side of town. (We’re particularly partial to the Gracia neighborhood<\/a>, which lies just north of the iconic avenue.)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping scene<\/strong>: Avinguda Diagonal follows the same theme as neighboring Passeig de Gr\u00e0cia, featuring dozens of big-name brands. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Shopping malls in Barcelona<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Diagonal Mar<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

While on the subject of Avinguda Diagonal, let’s head down to the easternmost end of the street, just blocks away from the beach. Here, you’ll find Diagonal Mar<\/a>, one of Barcelona’s newest and most modern shopping centers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

With dozens of shopping and dining options in addition to an 11-screen movie theater, this place really does have it all. Still not convinced? As a leading participant in the effort to reduce single-use plastics and protect seas and oceans, their environmentally friendly initiatives<\/a> alone make them worth visiting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Centro Comercial Arenas<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Bullfighting was banned in Catalonia in 2010, but Barcelona’s former bullring remains a must-visit spot. It’s since been converted into one of the city’s top malls, Centro Comercial Arenas<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to your standard shops, restaurants, and movie theater, this impressive mall is also home to a running track and a spectacular rooftop terrace with views across the city. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
