Once a Roman thoroughfare leading into the walled city of Barcino, today the pedestrian street of Portal de l’Àngel is traversed by hordes of shoppers toting bulging bags. The street is chock-full of shoe, clothing, jewellery and accessory shops.
-
The genteel, classier extension of La Rambla, this well-maintained street offers a refreshing change from its cousin’s more down-at-heel carnival atmosphere. Chic shops and cafés, as well as their moneyed customers, pepper the street’s length, from Plaça de Catalunya to Diagonal. You’ll find everything from fine footwear and leather bags to linens and lamps.
-
The biggest perfume shop in the city has more than a thousand scents, including all the leading brands and other surprises. Also home to the Perfume Museum (Top 10 Quirky museums/Monuments).
-
The speciality here is classic rock – as shown by the spray-painted wall art depicting The Rolling Stones and Jimi Hendrix. One floor houses CDs, the other a huge selection of vinyl.
-
The owner designs and sells her own leather accessories: wallets, bags and a few gifts. Classy designs are well made and well priced.
-
This small boutique sells interesting women’s and children’s hand-made, original shoes as well as bags, handknitted scarves and other crafted accessories.

The cream of the crop in Spanish design with out-of-this-world designs for the most everyday objects. Furniture is displayed in a 1900 upper-class apartment. Breathtaking.
