Barcelona a shopping Mecca just waiting for you!

 Barcelona is on its way to becoming a top shopping capital of Europe!

Everything you can imagine or dream of buying is available in Barcelona from books to jewels, haute couture (both local and international), designer furniture, wines, cava and much more.

Barcelona offers around 35,000 shops. In contrast to London, Berlin or Amsterdam Barcelona is not only fashionable and trendy but also offers reasonable prices.

Typical shopping hours are 10:00 am and close around 8:30 pm from Monday to Saturday. Small shops still have a "siesta" (rest) in the afternoon from about 2:00 pm until 4:30 pm. All trades are allowed to open on 11 Sundays per year. However, most of the shops on Las Ramblas are opened throughout the week, seven days long.

There are different rates of sales taxes in Spain and, of course, in Barcelona. For shops it is mostly 16 %, on selected items 4 or 7% and for restaurants and hotels the rate is 7%.

The summer sale period is currently on with discounts between 20-50% off!

Some bargains can be had for up to 70% off.

Now that you know shopping is good value, why not chat with some friends…get a group of girls together and come and visit Barcelona.

Rent an apartment, B&B or Guesthouse by the Beach in Barcelona

Since the massive clean-up operation of the Barcelona beaches and nearby Olympic marina village undertaken for the 1992 Olympics, this area has become a magnet for Barcelonans and visitors alike. A lot of effort goes into maintaining the cleanliness of both sand and sea, which is tested daily, and all beaches have disabled access, lifeguards (in season), sun lounges and showers.

Let us highlight two of the gorgeous beach areas of Barcelona for you.

Nova Icaria
Closest to the Olympic marina, and therefore always crowded, this wide swathe of rough golden sand is great for food goers. There are three spotless beach bars, two immensely popular restaurants on the promenade behind (Mango and Chiringuito de Moncho) and countless bars and restaurants off the Port Olímpic just a short stroll away.

There are plenty of budget (cheap) through to high-end apartments available for rent at reasonable prices and throughout the year in Nova Icaria and its surrounds.

Barceloneta

Very wide and long and fringed by wooden decking along which lies a series of American-style eateries(pizzas and Tex-Mex mostly) plus the busy Catalan restaurant Agua. Somewhere along its length, the beach becomes San Sebastian (Metro: Barceloneta), a traditional and popular stretch with locals and consequently crowded, noisy and very jolly.

Barceloneta is not far from the old city area (Gothic area) with La Ramblas and Plaza Catalunya. Strolling along the boardwalk, passed cafes and shops towards the city centre is a lovely way to spend your afternoon and get out and about with the Barcelona people at large.

There are 1 bedroom apartments, studios even 2 bedroom apartments available to rent in and around Barceloneta.

There is one apartment we know you beach goers will love because it has stunning views of Barceloneta beach – Lukes Beachview Apartment!

Lukes Beachview apartment sleeps up to 4 adults and prices start in low season for €60.00 per night + taxes and service charges.

Having your own apartment rental within walking distance of one of Barcelonas most famous beaches at an affordable price means couples, families and friends can visit Barcelona take in everything this city of love has to offer including sightseeing, museums, eating out, nightlife and the best part of all – relax on the golden sands and bathe in the warm waters everyday in summer.
