Barcelona Shopping guide
If you love shopping then you will love Barcelona!
Barcelona offers you around 35,000 shops and is also home to the famous
5km shopping line. Much of the shopping line is pedestrianised,
allowing you to wonder from shop to shop without worrying about any
traffic. There are many famous brands and you’ll also find many
high-quality Spanish designer shops supplying clothes, shoes, jewellery
and accessories. Barcelona also has many large department stores. 2 of
the largest are in the centre; they are El Corte Ingles and Fnac. Here
you'll find just about anything you want under one roof.
El Corte Inglés is seen by the Spanish as a symbol of their
Culture. Spain’s number one department store. If you need anything, El
Corte Inglés is guaranteed to have it; fashion, accessories, home
furnishing, leisure, sports, electronics, food and more, though often
more expensive than speciality stores. Open from 10:00 to 22:00 with
