Shopping in Barcelona. When I think about Barcelona, I do not think about shopping, yet there are a few good places to go to. While Barcelona is not a Paris, New York City, or Milan, there are a few good shopping streets. Passeig de Gracia is like the 5th Avenue of Barcelona and is the home to all of the top designers. There is also Bulevard Rosa, a Spanish version of a mini mall. You can walk through and once inside there are different stores. The street is beautiful, but what most tourists do not know about is Rambla Cataluyna. While doing a project on my neighborhood, I discovered Rambla Cataluyna. Rambla Cataluyna has many shops and stores from Spanish designers. Rambla Cataluyna also has great architecture on the street. Located in the Eixample district, there are many famous buildings on this street. Some of the buildings to note are Casa Fargas (#47) by Enric Sagnier. This building is an example of Catalan Modernisma architecture. Another building on this street is Casa Serra (#126) by Josep Puig i Cadafalch and it is an example of neo-Romanesque style.
