Local before arrival
Portal del Àngel is the place to go if you’re looking for trendy but affordable fashion. Major Spanish chains like Zara, Massimo Dutti, and Bershka have stores on this pleasant pedestrian shopping street that runs from Plaça Catalunya through the heart of the Barri Gòtic. Be sure to check out the narrow side streets where whimsical stores, often tiny, sell traditional Spanish goods such as hand-drawn candles or enameled milk churns.
