SHOPPING

hotspots

1. PASSEIG DE GRÀCIA If you are drawn to classic and chic labels, then head straight to Passeig de Gràcia.

This luxurious boulevard boasts beautiful buildings and décor, including the magnificent Casa Batlló and La Pedrera.

Many of the most prestigious fashion shops and brands in Barcelona are located here, including Bulgari, Gucci, Hermès, Prada, Emporio Armani, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton. If you are on a budget, or don’t want to splash out as far as a pair of Jimmy Choo stilettos, then check out the high-street stores such as Zara, Mango and H&M with their aspirational knock-offs.

2. BORN This trendy cultural hub is an up-andcoming fashion district with plenty of independent boutiques that specialise in one-off items and contemporary fashion.

Many of the best shops are in Carrer Rec, Carrer dels Flassaders, and in the small streets off Rambla del Born.

3. RAVAL If you are bringing goods out of the EU, ask for a Tax Free Cheque in the shop.

Mirador torre Glòries

MORE THAN JUST A 360° OBSERVATION DECK

Mirador torre Glòries is the new cultural experience in Barcelona. A different and not-to-be-missed visit for enjoying the best 360° views of the city and much more because Mirador torre Glòries isn’t just another observation deck. It is a surprising experience, full of intriguing ways to discover Barcelona and where you can take in the spectacular panorama from a height of 125 metres, in one of the most photographed buildings in the city. It is a very special place in the new “centre of Barcelona”, where the city’s three main streets converge: Meridiana, Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes and Diagonal.

Mirador torre Glòries is a vantage point that revolutionises the way of observing Barcelona. It is a must-do experience for discovering the city’s secrets, getting to know it and once the visit is over, enjoying and feeling it like never before.

BARCELONA CONNECT

A NEW CONNECTION WITH ONE OF THE MOST ICONIC BUILDINGS ON BARCELONA’S SKYLINE Since it was opened, Torre Glòries, designed

by Jean Nouvel, has become an icon of Barcelona. An emblematic tower that is part of the city’s skyline, which, thanks to Mirador torre Glòries, has only recently been opened to the public.

The visit to Mirador torre Glòries begins in an unusual way, underground. There awaits Hyperview Barcelona, an extraordinary place, an observation deck... without windows. It is an exhibition space that reveals aspects of the city that often pass unnoticed, unique details that we often look at but don’t see.

A forest of delicate paper sculptures created by artist Joan Sallas lets us explore the city through its non-human inhabitants, its London

FEATURES

THE BEST 360° VIEWS OF THE CITY

plane trees, fin whales and the peregrine falcons of Sagrada Família. There is also a gigantic screen on which real-time data are projected to reveal Barcelona at that precise moment: various data capture points feed their numbers live, creating a real-time view of the city. The entire space is enveloped in selfgenerating music thanks to the installation by Maria Arnal and John Talabot.

by Tomás Saraceno’s Cloud Cities Barcelona sculpture. This amazing work of art, suspended in the centre of the dome, is a 6-kilometre cobweb of tensioned cables that defies verticality. That’s not all, if you want to, you can climb and crawl through it and enjoy privileged views of the city from an even greater height of 130 metres. A unique experience that invites you to reflect and enjoy the visit even more.

AN EXCEPTIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR CONTEMPLATING BARCELONA FROM THE CLOUDS

FEEL THE BEAT OF BARCELONA!

After this journey underground, the visit continues on the tower’s 30th floor, at a height of 125 metres. From there, the city is formidable: emblematic buildings and monuments, streets full of history, its “green lungs”, its distinguished neighbour Sagrada Família, the Mediterranean Sea as a backdrop...

It is an enchanting observation deck. One that offers exclusive 360° views of Barcelona and beyond. However, there’s more, and to see it, all you have to do is tilt your head back and look up.

The highest point of the tower is dominated

Mirador torre Glòries is much more than an observation deck. It is a special and innovative place that will amaze you for its daring and for believing in a different kind of observation point that reveals, explores and seduces in equal measure. It is a journey through Barcelona that will change how you look and understand the city. Are you ready to discover the infinite facets of the city and feel its beat in real time?

CASA VICENS GAUDÍ Casa Vicens Gaudí is the first masterpiece by the famous Catalan architect Antoni Gaudí (1852-1926). The young and talented Gaudí constructed this house in the Gràcia neighbourhood between 1883 and 1885 for the Vicens family. It is recognised as a wonderful work of art combining diverse influences, and was declared a UNESCO World Heritage in 2005.

his colleagues applied papier máché on the ceiling of the dining room and on the walls of the smoking room, the most famous room in Casa Vicens.

The tour of Casa Vicens begins in the cozy garden where you can taste the gastronomic delights of its cafeteria. It's from the patio that you'll discover the true facade of the house, facing towards the garden which originally had a large waterfall and a ARCHITECTURE chapel dedicated to Santa Rita.

MADE BY Unfortunately these no longer NATURE exist as the land was claimed by urban development in the sought after Gràcia neighbourhood.

A great variety of artistic techniques are present in this building. There is an intensive use of ceramics, such as the exterior tiles with carnation prints, a flower that Gaudí found on the site and incorporated as a key decorative element of this building. You can also see magnificent wrought iron work and the intense use of the sgraffito pottery technique in all the rooms which have plant motifs. However, the greatest surprise is perhaps the use of paper. Gaudí and 22

Step into the dining room and you will discover Manel Vicens' beautiful collection of paintings by Francesc Torrescasana.

CASA VICENS GAUDÍ OFFERS OPEN VISITS AND GUIDED TOURS EVERY DAY

The visit continues on the second floor where the bedrooms, bathroom and temporary exhibition hall are located. On the third floor, you can discover the history of the house through its permanent exhibition of models. A final staircase leads to the first transitable roof created by Gaudí, which preceded the majestic roofs of La Pedrera and Casa Batlló.

The trip ends at the bottom floor of the building where there is a video that explains the process of restoration and rehabilitation of the house with the aim of returning to its origin: to the house which was completed by Gaudí in 1885.

This unique architectural jewel can be best summed up with the observation that it is truly "architecture made by nature", since wherever

you look inside this house, you will find plant motifs.

Casa Vicens Gaudí offers open visits, guided tours in English, Spanish and Catalan, the “Smile Gaudí” tour -open visit plus professional photo session and the “Tardor y Vicens” tour, which includes an open visit to the house and sweet or savoury appetizer in its cafeteria. In addition, the ticket includes access to the audio guide available in 15 languages.

Carrer de les Carolines, 20 Open: Daily from 10:00-20:00.

Fully accessible for people with reduced mobility. www.casavicens.org 23

CHOCOLATE & CHURROS This traditional treat is definitely recommended for satisfying any sweet tooth. Thick hot chocolate is served with long donut-like churros, which are dunked and devoured. Churros are normally covered with sugar, but sometimes also with cinnamon or (more!) chocolate.

ESCALIVADA

CALÇOTS

Freshly made escalivada is a local specialty which melts in the mouth. It is usually served as a tapa, or to accompany grilled meat dishes. It is made from smoke-grilled peppers, eggplant and onions which are mixed with olive oil and garlic and left to marinate and soak up the flavours. It is sometimes topped with anchovies and accompanied by crispy pa amb tomàquet, bread rubbed with fresh tomato and a drizzle of good quality olive oil. Delicious!

If you’re visiting Barcelona this spring we recommend you try a unique and popular seasonal specialty: calçots. These long spring onions have a mild leek-like flavour, and are served with a delicious romesco sauce, packed with the fresh flavours of tomatoes, peppers, garlic, almonds, bread, and extra virgin olive oil. The pile of steaming, chargrilled calçots is usually brought to the table wrapped in newspaper to keep them warm.

DAY TRIP

VALL DE NÚRIA PYRENEES

Vall de Núria is a high mountain valley located at 2000m, in the eastern area of the Pyrenees.

Crowned by majestic mountain peaks that reach over 3000m, it is an idyllic location for outdoor activities and an ideal starting point for longer hikes into the mountains.

ACTIVITIES FOR ALL THE FAMILY As the summer sunshine climbs in the sky, the resort area of Vall de Núria transforms from a ski haven to a hub of summer activities.

It’s an ideal place to come with kids, as there is a huge variety of outdoor fun on offer. A play-park entertains the younger ones, and there is also a mini-golf area, and boating and canoes on the lake. There is a pony ride route especially designed for 2-8 year olds, which goes around the Sanctuary buildings. The farm area invites kids to encounter animals such as chickens, ducks, rabbits and Catalan donkeys.

Horse riding is a good way to discover the landscapes of the valley, and routes are available for all levels. There is also an archery range inside the woods where you can test your focus and aim against silhouettes concealed among the trees.

BARCELONA CONNECT

A HISTORIC SANCTUARY The earliest records of Vall de Núria Sanctuary date back to Saint Giles in 700AD. Giles was a pilgrim who carved an icon of the Virgin Mary, which he hid when he fled Roman persecution. The first chapel was built here in 1072, and a shelter for shepherds was added in 1162. It has been rebuilt and enlarged many times, most recently in 1911.

HIKING ROUTES There are some spectacular trails to be enjoyed here. Mountain paths wind through the woods and beyond the treeline towards the high and rocky mountain peaks. Popular routes include Pic de l’Àliga (2476m, 1hr15), Pic de la Fossa del Gegant (2801m, 3hrs) and Coma de Vaca (2.020m, 1hr15).

Though not a local tradition, Halloween is gradually being adopted in the city especially by bakeries selling spooky donuts and bars and pubs embracing the excuse for a themed party. During La Castanyada, on the 1st of November, families gather together on the eve of All Saints to share the warmth of each other's company and remember loved ones. Roast chestnuts and sweet potatoes are the traditional fare, as well as panellets (sweets made with pine nuts and honey). Enjoy the autumn treats sold on street corners around Barcelona!

Traditions C AG A T I Ó

This Christmas log is a smiling hollowed out piece of wood with a red barretina hat. Children "feed" him every day from the 8th December and keep him warm with a blanket. On Christmas Eve the children beat him with a stick, singing songs that demand he poops presents...and candy, nuts and figs come pouring out!

C H R I ST M A S M A R K E T S The most important Christmas market is the Fira de Santa Llúcia, opposite Barcelona Catherdral (30th Nov-23rd Dec). The square in front of La Sagrada Família also fills with festive stalls offering traditional Christmas figurines, nativity scenes and artisan gifts.

C AG A N E R A key character in the Catalan nativity scene is the caganer, a small figure defecating discretely behind the crib of baby Jesus. These statues symbolise fertilisation and renewal. In recent years they have been satirically represented by everyone from footballers and pop stars to royalty and politicians. Children love finding the caganer in the larger nativity scenes that have dozens of characters, including shepherds, kings, villagers and angels.

WHAT'S ON

C H R I ST M A S L I G H T S Once Barcelona's street decorations are switched on at the end of November there's no denying that Christmas is just around the corner. Look out for the pretty lights in small streets of the Gothic and Born districts, and the large wall of electrified colour along Gran Via.

NEULES These thinly rolled wafers are often covered in chocolate or packed with a creamy filling, and traditionally served alongside a selection of turrón at the end of a Christmas meal.

They are light and easy to eat, and the perfect accompaniment to a glass of cava at any time during the holiday season.

TURRÓN This traditional Christmas sweet is made with honey, sugar, egg whites and almonds. Turrón de Jijona is a soft blend with ground almonds and oil, which makes it more sticky. Turrón de Alicante is a hard block made with whole almonds, and almost guaranteed to mess with any dental work.

There are many other contemporary variations with additional ingredients such as chocolate, puffed rice and candied fruits.

BORN Charm and tradition This district is arguably one of the most beautiful in the city.

The atmosphere of El Born is both historical and trendy; be sure to explore all the way through to Cituadella Park which acts as its leafy green backdrop. Take a wander down Carrer Princesa and into the narrow side roads. You may feel like you are getting lost, but rest assured you are guaranteed to find all the best little bars and restaurants favoured by locals.

BARCELONETA & PORT OLÍMPIC Along the seafront This seafront area was rebuilt for the 1992 Olympic Games and has since become one of Barcelona's top visitor destinations.

Take a walk along the seafront promenade and see the sailing boats in the port below. There are many seafood restaurants and lounge bars with terraces overlooking the Mediterranean, and there's a busy nightlife scene.
