ENJOY THE LUXURY AND EXCLUSIVENESS OF THE PASEO DE GRACIA

If luxury shopping is right up your street, the Paseo de Gracia is your place. This is one of the main avenues in Barcelona, where you'll not only find all the top brands, but you can also see spectacular works of modernist ar chitecture. The head offices of banks that previously occupied the lovely buildings in this area have been re placed by exclusive flagship stores and avant-garde restaurants and cafes. Just one suggestion: after a long day's shopping it's a nice idea to visit the Perfume Museum , where you'll find objects designed by Dalí or belonging to Marie Antoinette, and perfume bot tles from different civilisations. Stay in an exclusive hotel and sign up for the services of a personal shopper. Pamper yourself!
