Tour starts at Port Vell and finishes on Avinguda Diagonal. Buses run from 7:30 to 21:30 (on Saturdays - from 9:30).

P - PRESS
In your soul, still strongly trusting the printed word? Then run to the nearest book shop for "Guia de Compres". This is the most alphabet of the Shopaholic: There are all the shops of Barcelona with addresses and an approximate list of goods.
P - sales
SALES in Barcelona for the year happens twice: the first - from January and to the first numbers of March, the second - from July and until the end of August. The magnitude of discounts is from 20% to 70%.
But August is only for lucky. Usually by this time, the running size and popular models are already completed, and satisfied Spaniards are in a hurry on vacation, closing almost half of the stores on the "Vacation".

C - Siesta
Divide your closure into two parts: until 13:00 and after 16:00. In the interval, together with all the Spaniards, feel a real buzz of Sesides. "And let the shopping be waiting for" (c).
T - Tax Free
So that prices do not leave traces of their teeth on your wallet, make Tax FREE (at the cost of goods over 90 EUR). The sellers for this case have special forms (check before). If there is no need for a form, then you can ask the check and invoice, but will give you them only by the consent of the seller.

"I thought my spouse decided to bypass all the shops in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bhonestly! At first I swear, because I, that at home in stores, that here - everything looked the same. But when the wife found the shoes, which we saw in the capital for 6,700 rubles "with a mega-discount, just now" and I saw the price tag in ... about 2600 rubles ... bought, of course. And then they scored all: I - jeans, shirts, her - blouses, dresses and fragile all sorts. At home considered - it's still cheaper than in Moscow, paradox. "

where CL is the number of people over 15 years old who came with you (individuals under 15 are not taken into account, because possess weak loading capacity).
