With its numerous luxury boutiques and big department stores, Barcelona is a real paradise for shopaholics. The most noble haute couture boutiques are situated at the main artery of the town, the world-famous Las Ramblas. Passing this famous five-kilometre shopping strip, you’ll see luxurious brands like Chanel, Armani and Cartier. The most expensive stores are located at Plaça Catalunya, Passeig de Grŕcia and Avenida Diagonal, while the narrow streets of El Born house numerous interesting variety shops. There, you’ll find bizarre antique shops, cosy little bookstores and ateliers of young, up-and-coming fashion designers. If you’re looking for vintage records and freaky clothing from the 70s and 80s, you should visit El Raval. There, you’ll find countless music stores and second hand shops with outrageous outfits and accessories. Due to the international population of this district and the amazing mixture of cultures, there are many foreign supermarkets, international clothing shops and ethnic designer stores.
