The summer sales get under way in Barcelona

Stores launched their summer discount season at the beginning of July and will continue to offer low prices until August 31st.

According to the Barcelona city council, shoppers will be offered price reductions of between 50 and 70 per cent at some outlets.

This summer, there is set to be a wide range of stock to choose from following the poor weather and economic difficulties that hampered the spring shopping season.

Clothing and footwear are expected to be among the most popular consumer items, as well as holiday equipment and furniture.

There are many areas in Barcelona where visitors can search for a bargain, such as the Passeig de Gracia, Avinguda Diagonal and the El Corte Ingles shopping centre.

If you’re thinking of heading over to grab yourself a few bargains, why not make the most of it and get yourself a hotel in Barlcelona for a few days.
