Some of my personal favorite stores in Barcelona were found because of pure luck...or because I got lost and was wandering around the city. To help you get right down to business right away, here's a list of some of my favorite places to shop...
Bershka - Great for basics like jeans, tops and purses, and not too expensive, either!
Pull & Bear - Just like Bershka, Pull and Bear sells basic clothes, like skinny jeans, which can be worn with every outfit!
ZARA - Everything from going-out clothes to sheek work attire, ZARA has high fashion clothes at smart prices.
Mango - Owned by the same company as ZARA, Mango sells less going-out clothes and more work clothes.
H&M - Although famous in the U.S., the H&Ms in Barcelona are ten times better than those in The States and way more fashion trendy.
El Corte Ingles - This department store is perhaps the most well-known and largest in Barcelona and although a daunting task to find what you're looking for, it does have everything and anything a girl could want. Hint: Go during a sale to get the best prices!
There are several locations for each of these stores throughout the city, with many of them around the Passeig de Gracia area and the Catalunya metro stop. Although Barcelona certainly offers its shoppers more of the designer shops found in famous Milan and Paris, this guide is for the student studying abroad, who'se probably saving her money for a weekend trip to Milan, not a piece of clothing which costs as much as that weekend trip.
