Shoes / Clothes, Barcelona

barcelona is very busy and very hot, it's difficult yo find good shops but once you have found them it's ll good you will find loads of bargins and there is a shoppin mall 9 stories high where you find absoulutly everythin you need

What to buy: clothes and shoes! you will find moutians of shoe shops they are every where i was in heaven!! xx

What to pay: depends on what you want but i brought a really nice top not designer and it was 13 euros aprox £9.00

Not so much expensive clothes could be found in portaferrisa street and portal del Angel, avinyo street (Loft store) well this last is likely the most expensive in this small area..but altogether the clothe is rather reasonable

What to buy: Clothes mostly

The most fashin quarter right now in BCN is el Born o Barri de la Marina where is place Santa Maria del Mar basilica....
Among Born promenade and palau square closer to France railwas station there are some finest firms with great clothes but really expensive...
Go there and take a look!! it worth wile anyway

Barcelona is quite expensive, indeed those who come from UK
There are a lot of international firms with fashionable stores along and across the downtown
Passeig de Gracia is bloody expensive , from Vinçon store to wealthy jewleries, with the exception of some stores as Zara or Massimo Dutti
You can find everything there if you are ready to spent a lot of money lol

What to pay: So much!!

I particularly like shopping at this store called: Sisley. I always seem to find discounted and very specially designed clothes which is about the latest fashion. They do have 8 stores all over Barcelona, but the one I normally like shopping is the one loated at Passeig de Grácia, 49.

What to buy: Summer clothes are usually in latest fashion as well as they come in super sales.

What to pay: well, I would rather buy two dressy pants but with quality and I would spend about 130 Euros each pants but this would be quality as I don´t like having too many clothes but looking cheap...so, two quality pants is good for few months.

Zara is somewhat like a department store, it is mostly for women but the branch on Passeig de Gracia and Portal de Angel have a floor for men as well. Zara has cute basic tank tops and jeans, it includes a women's section and a junior's department as well as a mens floor in the Zara's on Passeig de Gracia and Portal d'Angel(also children's here). I would recommend Zara for quick basics you might need while on vacation(cheap tanktops, sandals).

What to buy: cute shirts, shoes, purses, basics.

What to pay: zara ranges from 6 euro for a tanktop to 200 euro for an expensive jacket.

There are several mangos in Barcelona and they stand out from the other young women's stores because the clothes are affordable and of pretty good quality. I've gotten a lot of compliments on things here in the U.S that I bought at Mango. They have a lot of cute shirts and purses..

What to buy: shirts for going out, purses,jeans.

What to pay: very affordable from 12 -40 euro on a blouse, even less during the sales in January and August.

My favorite area for shopping in Barcelona was portal d'angel and the surrounding areas.

What to buy: There a tons of cute and original shoe shops in Barcelona, especially boots.

What to pay: Portal de angel is a moderately priced area compared to the more upscale passeig de gracia and diagonal.
