Acosta
Barcelona
Started in the '50s, this chain of stylish, Spanish leather belts and bags now has 37 shops all over Spain and one in both Lisbon and Brussels. It's still family-run, which is perhaps why everything sold has the air of being lovingly and meticulously produced. Prices are excellent, given the overall quality.Started in the '50s, this chain of stylish, Spanish leather
Adolfo-Domandiacutenguez
Barcelona
This shop, one of many outlets across Spain and Europe, displays fashion that has earned for the store the appellation of \"The Spanish Armani.\" There's one big difference: Domínguez's suits for both women and men, unlike Armani's, are designed for those with hips and limited budgets. And they cover all ages at their stores, including the youth market. As one fashion critic said of their offerings, \"They are austere but not strict, forgivingly cut in urbane earth tones.\"This shop, one of many outlets across Spain and Europe,

Angel-Batlle
Barcelona
This shop has an unbeatable collection of old posters, from travel to advertising and music to sport, postcards, engravings, maps, prayer cards -- really anything that's printed.

Using only the finest cacao available, a mind-boggling selection of sweetmeats is categorized into \"collections\": \"flowers and herbs,\" \"liquors and digestives,\" \"gastronomic innovations,\" and \"spices of the Americas\" to name just a few.

Centre-Comercial-Glandograveries
Barcelona
Built in 1995, part of a huge project to rejuvenate a downtrodden part of town, this is a three-story emporium based on the California model. It has more than 230 shops, some posh and others far from it. Most people head here for the Carrefour department stores, the cheaper cousin of El Corte Inglés that mainly sells electrical and home goods. Although there's a typical shopping-mall anonymity to some aspects of this place, it's great for kids, with lots of open spaces and bouncy things to jump on. Open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 10pm. Av.Built in 1995, part of a huge project to rejuvenate

Contribuciandoacuten-y-Moda
Barcelona
This large split-level store sells men's and women's designer clothing from last season and beyond. It's the sort of place where you may pick up a pair of Vivienne Westwood woolen trousers for as little as 100€ ($125), or wonder if that Gaultier skirt was really worth 250€ ($312) at full price. That said, you can normally find at least one item to your taste and budget (especially at the beginning of the season), although the different size ranges can make you want to scream.This large split-level store sells men's and women's designer clothing
