La Roca Village

Barcelona


For the ultimate discount-designer overdose, head 35km northeast of central Barcelona for some outlet shopping at La Roca Village, a village that has been given over to consumer madness. Among a long line of Spanish and international fashion boutiques, you’ll find reduced-price clothes, shoes, accessories and designer homewares.

The Village runs a Shopping Express bus from Passeig de Gràcia (adult/child €10/5, 30 to 45 minutes); check schedules online. Alternatively take the hourly Sagalés Shopping Bus (adult/child €10/6, 40 minutes) from Carrer de Casp 34 in L'Eixample (just north of Urquinaona metro).
