Barcelona Shopping Line - The city of shops.

Barcelona is a showcase for international brands and the most prestigious designers. It is a unique city with a mild climate which makes it possible to stroll from shop to shop all year round. The Barcelona shopping experience is encapsulated by its main retail thoroughfare, the Shopping Line. It covers an area of 5 kilometres, stretching from the Diagonal to the harbour, via the Passeig de Gràcia, the old town and La Rambla.
A walk along this major open-air retail thoroughfare makes it possible to enjoy artistic jewels, such as Art Nouveau buildings, and a wide array of restaurants and leisure attractions.

The retail model of the Catalan capital is unique in the world and combines all the values of the people of Barcelona and their identity. The Barcelona Shopping Line is the nexus between the city's main shops and the visitors who come to enjoy them. It also reflects the open vocation of the people of Barcelona. For this reason, we find the most modern retail outlets alongside shops dating back over a hundred years, and next to the most sophisticated shops we can see a typical neighbourhood market. The Catalan capital is an international cultural and shopping destination. And the Shopping Line showcases a wide array of shops with a quality which are the guarantors of the Barcelona brand.

Barcelona's most attractive shopping thoroughfare is also its most exclusive. The Diagonal, the Passeig de Gràcia, the Rambla de Catalunya and the Portal de l'Àngel are a showcase for the world's leading fashion and accessory brands, designer shoes, fine jewellery and quality watches. Renowned brands such as Armani, Chanel, Gucci, Valentino, Escada, Dolce & Gabbana and Louis Vuiton have chosen this centrally located area to set up their premises.
