Lifestyle in Barcelona

Barcelona is a great place where to go shopping. The city offers a huge variety of trendy shops, especially in Passeig de Gracia and Borne, uniques places where to go shopping. Here you can find luxury shops and new cool brands created by the young designers of the city. What makes Barcelona even more special is that you can find trendy and exclusive collections at convenient prices. If you are looking for new brands shopping you will love the shops in Puerta del Angel and if you prefer luxury brands you will not believe how many occasions and discounted prices you will find at La Roca village outlet.

If an Iberian excursion is more to your tastes, why not have a street food-themed weekend getaway in Barcelona, a city where what you have for supper is a matter of utmost importance? Though it’s not specific to Catalonia as a whole, or Barcelona more specifically, the city’s Tapas scene is incredible, as are many of the city’s best-loved food truck offerings, which we absolutely recommend trying out. EL MEX is fantastic for their choice of tacos, quesadillas and nachos, and paella is very easy to come by throughout the Catalan metropolis. For some food shopping, food markets like La Boqueria are essential, as well as being great places to buy Jamón Ibérico, Spain's legendary cured ham. The locals drink dark vermouth on its own before meals, and when served with tapas and other nibbles and we think it really works. Other alcoholic beverages to enjoy when renting an apartment in Barcelona include local wines such as those from Terra Alta and Empordà, and of course Cava, Spain’s equivalent to champagne. 

Visiting Barcelona whitout enjoying of his amazing beaches and chiringuitos would be a shame. Barcelona’s beaches, very famous around the world give an important contribute to make this city’s lifestyle unique and special. You can not go back to your city without having enjoyed Las playas and without having sunbathed after a relaxing lunch in the typical chiringuitos.

The city offers 5kms of fantastic sand and amazing sea and if you do not like sunbathing you can choose to walk down to El litoral as the citizens of Barcelona use to do to chill and relax. You can easily reach the beach using the Underground line 4’s stops Barceloneta, Bogatell and Poblenou.
