Spain is rightly renowned as an ideal shopping destination for international tourists because of its high tax rebates, low-priced luxury goods and local designer brands. According to the Globe Shopper Index, a report compiled by The Economist, Barcelona ranks first among Europe's "most cost-effective luxury shopping destinations" thanks to its relatively low retail prices for high-end clothing, jewelry and watches. So now you're armed with the facts, you know where to go for your next spree, right?

Passeig de Gràcia is the most famous high-end shopping street in Barcelona, bringing together all kinds of luxury goods and local brands. The street is located in the middle of the Eixample district, starting from Plaça de Catalunya in the south and Carrer Gran de Gràcia in the north. At present, it is the most expensive street in Spain.

Passeig de Gràcia is lined with classic buildings that visitors can admire while they buy their favorite goods. From famous international brands such as Hermès and Chanel to LOEWE, the favorite of the Spanish royal family, and affordable Zara and Mango stores, you can find a bit of everything here. If you don't plan to spend a fortune, it's also a great place for window shopping.
