Paseo de Gracia is one of the most important avenues in the whole of Barcelona and was designed, from the beginning, to be so. It´s also not only that but one of the most elegant places that the city has to go for a walk, with really impressive architecture and many modernist buildings such as Casa Batlló or Casa Milà.
The quality and quantity of the modernist art buildings that there are in Paseo de Gracia can´t compare to anything else in Barcelona and many of them go back even to the Roman times.
But further than being one of the most interesting places to enjoy the buildings that, with time, become true architectural works of art, the avenue also has some of the biggest and most impressive shops in the city and because of that a lot of people go and shop there.
Some of the most important designers that have shops there are Loewe, Chanel. Yves Saint-Laurent, Adolfo Domínguez, Hermès, Ermenegildo Zegna, Max Mara and Escada y Lauren among others. But there are other shops which are much more affordable such as Mango, Blobe, Bennetton or Laura Ashley.
Paseo de Gracia is one of the most important places in the city and you can´t not enjoy the views of such buildings and shop at the place. For that you can rent apartments in Barcelona and prepare yourself to go shopping.
