Rebajas (Sales) in Barcelona!

If you are low on funds, well not to worry! The sales started last month and finish in March and start from August through to September.

If you're not quite sure of what you can find and where you can find it, the itinerary we are offering will be of great use. On the other hand, it's worth remembering that the whole of Barcelona is a Shopper's paradise.

Shopping Routes

First of all, you could walk down Passeig de Gracia and Las Ramblas de Catalunya, where you'll be able to find the most exclusive fashions. The hippest houses, such as Armani, Chanel, Herrera, Herme's, Calvin Klein, Max Mara etc. are all located right here. Attention, though: this area is solely for the seriously rich! ("Not for me, then!")

For younger fashion, you need to head for Portaferrissa and Portal de l'Angel. The prices are middling and as well as the big chains like H&M, Mango and Zara, there are also smaller shops with alternative goods. In this area you will also find other brands, such as Pull&Bear, Stradivarius and System Action, and so on.

Avinguda Diagonal ("Diagonal Avenue") also has tons of shops! You will find everything!

La Ribera, El Raval and Barri Gotic (the Gothic quarter) hold many gems too. On Riera Baixa 'Street' in the Raval there are Hippie Clothes' Shops. You should also have a walk down Avinyo' and Princesa Streets, where you will see import and local fashions; ethnic goods; cyber-punk styles and much, much more. This is for those who appreciate a different culture and don't want to parade around dressed head-to-toe in clothes from Zara and Mango.

Shopping Centres (a few suggestions):

1. Gran Via 2 (located close to Ikea)

2. L'Illa (On Diagonal)

3. Mare Magnum

4. El Corte Ingle's (In Placa Catalunya)

5. Les Glo'ries (near to the Agbar Tower)

6. Diagonal Mar (Yellow L4 Metro, get out at the 'Maresme Fo'rum stop)

The majority of Second Hand Clothes' Shops can be scoped out in Riera Baixa and Tallers (you'll find one shop after another). Strolling down Portaferrisa and in and around Gracia you will also be able to spot more shops of this kin.

At the small Marketplaces many and various goods are on offer at very low prices, especially if you're hunting down accessories. El Mercat de Bellcaire in Dos de Maig Streen in Encants is just one example amongst many.

Artisan, jewellery and Accessories are ten to the dozen in Barcelona. Many stores belong to young designers who put their creations on sale. Enter, browse and you will be to find things that are unique and out of the ordinary. Ferlandina 'Street', the Passeig Del Born and Rossello' are some of the places where you'll be able to find such things.
