Barcelona, Shops and More: Barcelona's Best Boutiques

Barcelona, Shops and More: Barcelona's Best Boutiques

by Angelika Taschen (Editor)

Synopsis

Barcelona may be design-crazed these days, but visitors can still take a trip back in time by visiting devotional shops that have hardly changed in centuries, such as Cereria Subira (est. 1761). Cooks and culinary fans will appreciate our recommendations for the best places to find kitchenware, chef's apparel, fresh-roasted coffee, or world-famous Spanish hams. If clothes-shopping is more your style, you'll want to visit one of our selected boutiques such as Josep Font, one of Spain's most celebrated designers, or the concept store Lobby. Be sure to keep this guide with you while you jaunt through Barcelona so you don't miss any of the local institutions (n.b. when you're drooling over a leg of jamon iberico, you may want to remind yourself that the airlines impose a weight limit for checked baggage).Special features: * exclusive hand-illustrated cover* exclusive hand-illustrated map for each area* information such as history, design, opening hours, and signature dishes* hand-illustrated postcard* softcover with a sturdy PVC jacket
