Shopping
Most of the city's classy shopping spreads across the heart of L'Eixample, in particular
along Passeig de Gràcia, Rambla de Catalunya and adjacent streets. All about are dotted a
surprising array of specialty stores, selling anything from gloves to glues.
VINÇON

Homewares
( 93 215 60 50; www.vincon.com ; Passeig de Gràcia 96; 10am-8.30pm Mon-Sat; Diagonal) An
icon of the Barcelona design scene, Vinçon has the slickest furniture and household goods
(particularly lighting), both local and imported. Not surprising, really, since the building,
raised in 1899, belonged to the Modernista artist Ramon Casas. Head upstairs to the fur-
niture area - from the windows and terrace you get close side views of La Pedrera.
