Shopping in Barcelona is a delight
The Catalan capital has its own unique shops where you will find quality goods at competitive prices, as well as top international designer names. Barcelona is the leading Spanish city in terms of sales to tourists from abroad. 18.5% of credit-card purchases in Spain are made in Barcelona, and the city accounts for almost 20% of the country’s ATM withdrawals.
The tourists who visit us appreciate the quality of the goods on sale in Barcelona’s shops, and its services. In addition, the city showcases Europe’s biggest shopping centre, the Barcelona Shopping Line. This 5-km thoroughfare stretches from the harbour to the uptown Diagonal district, via La Rambla, the old town, the Gothic Quarter and the Passeig de Gràcia and Rambla de Catalunya. The Shopping Line comprises a series of shops which turn the shopping experience into a pleasant stroll. It is a stimulating compendium of the retail outlets in the city, which has 35,000 shops in total.
