Barcelona is quite expensive, indeed those who come from UK
There are a lot of international firms with fashionable stores along and across the downtown
Passeig de Gracia is bloody expensive , from Vinçon store to wealthy jewleries, with the exception of some stores as Zara or Massimo Dutti
You can find everything there if you are ready to spent a lot of money lol
What to pay: So much!!
Directions: from diagonal x paseig de gracia rhrough catalunya square

The most fashin quarter right now in BCN is el Born o Barri de la Marina where is place Santa Maria del Mar basilica....
Among Born promenade and palau square closer to France railwas station there are some finest firms with great clothes but really expensive...
