Tourists from all over the world, and especially from Russia, the amazing Barcelona attracts not only beautiful beaches and a lot of attractions, but also a developed culture of shopping.
Wardrobe
Despite the fact that many professional shoppers prefer to storm the boutiques of Milan and Paris and unfairly refuse to recognize Barcelona as a worthy center of fashionable, stylish and inexpensive purchases, we certainly know that shopping in Barcelona is not only fascinating, but also surprisingly profitable
For fans of high-profile brands in Barcelona there are many places. Lovers in Luis Vuitton, Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Escada, etc. can take their souls to boutiques on the boulevard Passeig de Gracia. There are also many shops of Spanish brands. Honestly, we note that things on the Passeig de Gracia are, of course, slightly cheaper than in Russia, but still prices seldom fall below the average.
Experiencing the strongest love for the clothes of famous designers, however, do not forget the golden rule of shopping, the essence of which is that things are better to buy in the country in which they are produced. By the way, already in the 16th and 17th centuries Spain was a recognized legislator of European fashion, and today it is not going to surrender its leading positions.
In a free day you can visit the best shopping centers in Italy to buy things for yourself and your loved ones.

To true shopaholics and simply economical tourists who are accustomed to spend money wisely, we advise you to go to the so-called shopping village, or outlet village, where you can buy items of famous brands all year round with discounts up to 70%. Especially popular is the village located half an hour from the capital of Catalonia, represented by the shopping center La Rocca Village.
Souvenirs and food
This shopping in Barcelona is never limited to just updating the wardrobe. Noble Spanish cheeses and fragrant aged chamon, divine wines and Asturian cider, delicious almond turrons and olive oils, souvenirs and many other things, born on Spanish soil, can only be purchased in Spain.
Tasty and original gifts are collected under the roofs of huge shopping centers (L'Illa, Maremagnum, Bulevard Rosa, Il Cortes Ingles and others) and in the markets of the capital of Catalonia (Boqueria, Sant Antoni). Expensive wine is better to buy in the cellars - bodegas. A large selection of souvenirs is presented in the stores Vinqon and along the entire Barcelona "arbat" - Boulevard Rambla.
