Local Area

Barcelona

Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona is at the heart of the Quadrat d’Or (Golden Square), a walkable district showcasing the best work of the Modernista architects who transformed the city at the turn of the century. It is sliced in two by the Passeig de Gràcia, an elegant boulevard lined with period wrought-iron lampposts.

Just across from Mandarin Oriental, Barcelona is Gaudí’s colourful Casa Batlló townhouse, its shimmering scales and sinuous curves created to evoke a dragon – a Catalan symbol. A short hop away is his apartment block La Pedrera, which is now an exhibition space and is best known for its distinctive chimney stacks. Rooftop concerts are staged here on summer nights.

A few blocks away is the iconic Sagrada Família, Gaudí’s unfinished temple, and beyond that the Sant Pau Recinte Modernista, which until recently was a working hospital, each of its riotously coloured pavilions a different ward. Today, it’s accessible to tourists, who can wander through its gardens.

Shopping

The Eixample is Barcelona’s shopping district par excellence, and you’ll find every sort of store here, from family-run ironmongers to exclusive boutiques. The bottom of Passeig de Gràcia is where the flagship stores of most major brands are found, but the further north you walk the grander the names become – Stella McCartney, Dolce & Gabbana, Jimmy Choo and a host of local designers among them. You’ll also find plenty of local names along the Passeig, from the stylish and affordable Bimba y Lola to design house Santa Eulàlia, which brings together a host of couture brands, to the ubiquitous Catalan purveyors of colourful, patchwork-like clothes, Desigual. At the top, the street hits Avinguda Diagonal, where you’ll find Prada and a couple of upmarket shopping centres. Meanwhile, Gràcia, the neighbourhood above the Eixample, has a completely different flavour, and its narrow streets and leafy squares are a great place to stumble across tiny boutiques and quirky homeware stores amid more workaday grocery stores and mechanic’s workshops. For interesting, locally produced gifts, some of the best are to be found in the shops of the bigger museums, or try the showcase store for Catalan jewellery, ceramics and so on, Artesania Catalunya, in the Barri Gòtic.
