Humana
There are quite a few Humana stores in Barcelona and one of our favorites is in Gracia. The people who walk around the Gracia neighborhood are usually very stylish, apparently by chance, which is not surprising given the large number of concept stores and designer boutiques that are constantly springing up in the neighborhood. As in any fashion area, vintage shops are always the best place to find designer pieces at bargain prices. Head to the back of the store to browse an exciting array of vintage and unique items.
