asseig de Gràcia is one of Barcelona’s most alluring fashion destinations. This tree-lined avenue, which stretches for 1.3km through the central Eixample district, is home to some of the Catalan capital’s most celebrated architectural delights, as well as prestigious luxury stores, five-star hotels and must-visit restaurants, providing more than enough entertainment for a sunny day in Barcelona.

It seems hard to believe that this elegant avenue started as a humble country lane connecting Barcelona to what was then the separate town of Gràcia. In the 1820s, however, the road was widened, and it soon became a popular meeting point for 70

the local aristocracy, who would gather to parade up and down in their fine horse-drawn carriages. By the end of the 19th century, Passeig de Gràcia had begun to acquire the grand buildings that line the street today. Designed by some of Spain’s leading architects, the buildings help give the street its unique character.

No detail was overlooked; the intricately decorated benches and street lights that are still a talking point were designed in 1906 by Pere Falqués i Urpí.

Since then, the street’s prestigious reputation has only grown, with the best international fashion names making themselves at home here. One of these not-to-bemissed stores is that of Spanish Previous page: Passeig de Gràcia in 1928 Above: Antoni Gaudí’s La Pedrera is one of the street’s architectural highlights

brand Rabat, renowned for its fine jewellery. Opened in 2014, the boutique occupies several storeys of an elegant modernist building dating from 1898, and provides plenty of space in which to display both Rabat’s latest chic, contemporary designs and carefully chosen pieces by some of the world’s leading names in watches and jewellery.

The recently opened Rolex boutique, in association with Spanish jeweller Tous, offers an immersive experience that covers both the past and the future of the Swiss brand.

The store, which occupies a noteworthy rationalist building from 1934, carries the full range of Rolex’s watches. Visitors can explore the exhibition area, which provides an insight into the brand’s rich history; see Rolex’s craftspeople in action through the windows into a workshop; and even test any of the watches in extreme conditions and temperatures – an excellent function for any seasoned traveller. The intimate and exclusive feel of the boutique provides the perfect environment in which to purchase a new high-end timepiece.

Founded in 1970 by Japanese designer Kenzo Takada, the brand has always been known for contemporary womenswear featuring bold prints and playful designs.

Offering sharing dishes in a terrace setting, Touché is ideal for an al fresco lunch. Situated in the Olympic port area, Touché has shady outside tables as well as comfy seating for bigger groups gathering for drinks. Opt for light bites such as ceviche and Thai vegetable rolls or larger plates including chicken Massaman curry or a Cobb salad, all made with highquality ingredients. Choose a glass of wine, champagne or locally made cava, or sample one of bartender Marc Pérez’s signature cocktails – the Passion Smash is a highlight.

РУССКИЙ ПЕРЕВОД 36: Avenue Of Stars

Аллея звезд Уже более века Passeig de Gràcia сохраняет статус самого роскошного бульвара Барселоны, – рассказывает Кэти Максуорти Passeig de Gràcia – один из самых притягательных и стильных бульваров Барселоны, протянувшийся на 1.3 км через центр района Эшампле. Здесь расположились наиболее известные архитектурные достопримечательности каталонской столицы, а также престижные магазины, пятизвездочные отели и роскошные рестораны, одним словом – здесь есть все, чтобы увлекательно провести один из солнечных дней в Барселоне. Сложно представить, что некогда этот элегантный бульвар был не более, чем скромная дорога, соединяющая Барселону с отдельным в то время городом Грасия. В 1820-х годах дорогу значительно расширили, и она стала популярным местом для прогулок среди местных аристократов. К концу 19 столетия, благодаря таланту лучших испанских архитекторов, на Passeig de Gràcia начали появляться величественные сооружения, до сегодняшнего дня придающие улице уникальный шарм. Ни

одна деталь не ускользнула от внимания градостроителей; затейливо украшенные скамейки и уличные фонари были спроектированы еще в 1906 году архитектором Пере Фалкес-и-Урпи. С тех пор престиж этого места только нарастал, привлекая внимание многих международных брендов. В 2014 году свое представительство здесь открыла испанская марка Rabat, знаменитая своими ювелирными украшениями. Бутик занимает несколько

этажей старинного здания 1898 года постройки. Его просторный интерьер вместил как фирменные коллекции Rabat, так и избранные украшения и наручные часы от всемирно известных брендов. Недавно открывшийся бутик Rolex совместно с испанским ювелирным брендом Tous позволит посетителям познакомиться с захватывающим прошлым и будущим швейцарской мануфактуры. В магазине, который расположен в

примечательном здании 1934 года, представлена полная коллекция часов Rolex, а также экспозиция, посвященная богатой истории бренда. Посетителям предоставляется возможность взглянуть на работу часовых мастеров и даже протестировать любые часы на устойчивость к экстремальным температурам. Приятная атмосфера этого бутика создает все условия для подбора первоклассной модели часов. Явным фаворитом среди множества брендов, представленных на Passeig de Gràcia, по праву считается globalblue.com

Kenzo. Эта марка, основанная в 1970 году японским дизайнером Кензо Такадо, всегда славилась современными коллекциями женской одежды, смелыми принтами и забавным дизайном. Мимо интригующих витрин бутика сложно пройти не останавливаясь, а последняя коллекция бренда, посвященная золотой поре диско 70-х, гарантированно привлечет ваше внимание. В двух шагах отсюда расположился бутик британского дизайнера Стеллы Маккартни, предлагающий еще больше стильных новинок

Passeig de Gràcia и окружающие улочки приютили мириады кафе, баров и ресторанов.

На параллельной к Passeig de Gràcia улице расположился Pau Claris 190 – еще один примечательный ресторан с интерьером в винтажном стиле и приятной атмосферой. Устройте себе ужин при свечах, заказав выдержанную утиную грудку с соусом из выпаренного кофе и апельсина или бараньи ребра по-французски с яблочнокартофельным пюре – любое из этих блюд станет идеальным завершением утомительного дня на Passeig de Gràcia.
