Most awaited store openings in Psg. de Gracia Barcelona

Paseo de Gracia, the most luxury shopping street in Barcelona, is always in movement. More and more interesting stores have opened or are in the process of opening. According to the newspaper Lavanguardia this is what we can look forward to for the near future:


The second Apple store in Barcelona will be opened just next to Plaza Catalunya (more precisely on the corner of Paseo de Gracia and Plaza Catalunya). The size is of 3200 square meters and they will be distributed on two floors. The construction of the building of the former bank Banesto is ongoing and the store will most probably be opened in the second semester of 2012.




Apparently Abercrombie & Fitch will be opening a store of 2500 square meters distributed on several floors. They will install themselves in the building of the headquarters of the insurance company Generali, located at Paseo de Gracia, 11 (Paseo de Gracia crossing Gran Vía). The construction has not yet started as the brand is waiting for the licensing they have applied for at the city council.



Mango has during quite some time advertised that a new store is opening on Paseo de Gracia (next to Tiffany & Co., between the streets Diputació and Consell de Cent). Nevertheless, all though the signs have been on the facade for almost a year, there is no news to when exactely the store will actually open. To be continued....

Tiffany & Co. Barcelona - new opening

Tiffany & Co. opened this week their second store in Spain on the prestigious Psg. de Gracia (where else would they be?). On November the 30th Tiffany & Co. held their opening night and on December the 1st the boutique opened for everybody.

On the opening night the entrance looked like this - as the typical blue box from Tiffany & Co. The guest list included the President of the company and one of their most important designers. Also many locally famous people attended such as Ricardo Bofill and Carmen Lomana.



The entrance is beautiful and already when you enter the door you will find an island with sparkling jewellery displayed. Unfortunately the price tags are not displayed along with them. I know it can be a bit intimidating visiting a store like this, but I had a trully nice experience entering the shop. Smiling people greeting me on my way in and out and the shop assistants immediately asked me if I needed any help - the kind of customer service you rarely find in Spain (and in other shops on Psg.de Gracia for that matter).

True, Tiffany & Co. is not known for having low prices and you will never see the sign "Sales" in one of their stores. Nevertheless, if you really want Tiffany jewellery it is not entirely out of the league for us mortals. Below I have found some more or less affordable silver jewellery. Prices found on their Spanish website by the way, it might be cheaper in the shop.
