Turisme de Barcelona, with the support of the Trade and Commerce Department of the city council, is launching the first autumn edition of the Barcelona Shopping Days campaign – from 26 September to 9 October – to promote the quality of the city’s shopping among citizens and visitors.
The idea is to enjoy Barcelona and at the same time the diversity and vitality of its shopping.
On Sunday 2 and Sunday 9 October, businesses in the city’s tourist areas will open between 12:00 and 20:00. The areas where they will be open include the main shopping areas of the Ciutat Vella and the Eixample and include some areas of Sants-Montjuïc, Gràcia and Camp de l’Arpa (Sant Martí).
The campaign, using the hashtag #barcelonashoppingdays, emphasises Barcelona’s distinctiveness with a model that combines traditional shops (family businesses) and major international brands with the most avant-garde, innovative and independent of shops. This initiative, that forms part of the Barcelona Shopping City programme, includes the city’s cultural activities as well as a range of ideas such as competitions, discounts, parking tokens and gifts. Barcelona Shopping Days was first held in May.
