Barcelona’s best boutiques
Barcelona may be design-crazed these days, but visitors can still take a trip back in time by visiting devotional shops that have hardly changed in centuries, such as Cereria Subirà (est. 1761). Cooks and culinary fans will appreciate our recommendations for the best places to find kitchenware, chef’s apparel, fresh-roasted coffee, or world-famous Spanish hams. If clothes-shopping is more your style, you’ll want to visit one of our selected boutiques such as Josep Font, one of Spain’s most celebrated designers, or the concept store Lobby. Be sure to keep this guide with you while you jaunt through Barcelona so you don’t miss any of the local institutions (n.b. when you’re drooling over a leg of jamón ibérico, you may want to remind yourself that the airlines impose a weight limit for checked baggage).
Special features:
