However I can say that if you are looking to find some higher end garments (such as D&G man shirts for 60 EUR) or even some “middle class” (CK man suits for 170 EUR or Levies jeans for cca. From the start I would like to say that we do not have much experience in this regard so I will not compare this outlet to other. It's a quick 10minutes walk, and is near the roundabout where you'd alight from the public bus.īy many a recommended high end outlet near Barcelona. One thing I missed out was the visit to the Mango and Nike outlets which are both 1 busstop down from the main La Roca Village. La Roca Village is in the midst of expanding, but I don't think I will return for a 2nd time. The village only has Starbucks, a Tapas restaurant, a Pasabela Spanish restaurant for about 20EUR per pax, a Cafe and Te, and that's about it. Take either the 1110, 1510, or 1910 back to Barcelona Fabra i Puig from the same bus stop that you previously alighted fromįood options, though good, are slightly limited. Alight right outside La Roca Village and walk in Find something to do for 50mins on the bus ride Bus 502 from platform 11/12 at 0900, 1200, 1500, and 2000 (do go early as the busses dont wait at the interchange for more than 3minutes) Take Metro to "Fabra i Puig", and follow the signs to exit at the Fabra i Puig bus interchange. There are a few options, and the cheapest option is through the public Sagales bus (3.25EUR per way), followed by the La Roca Village Shopping bus operated by Sagales as well (12EUR round trip, 7EUR one way), then the idiot-proof taxi (exorbitant).Ĭheapest Option (3.25EUR per pax per way):
Public transportation to La Roca Village is also pretty decently easy and straightforward. Kipling Slingbag for 25EUR (off season sale of further 50% reduction) Matt Black Oakley Frogskins Shades for 83EUR, price before VAT refund of 10EUR (retail: about 90EUR)
Timberland Female Boat Shoes Size 6.5 for 24.99EUR Onitsuka TIgers Male Tee Size M for 12EUR (retail 45, outlet 25, further 20% reduction) Onitsuka Tigers Male Sneakers US Size 10.5 for 28EUR (retail: 66, outlet: 35, further 20% reduction) HOWEVER, if you have the time and dedication for some bargain hunting, with a little bit of luck, you can find something for pretty reasonable prices and the right sizes. Even for simple teeshirts from Billabong or Desigual, the norm is about 30-40EUR at least. La Roca Village houses many up-market brands like Armani and Loewe, so even though they offer "outlet prices", which is a huge 20-30% slash off from the retail prices you get outside, it's still pretty unaffordable by normal-person's means (Branded jackets and trench coats for 3-digits). IF you come from the States or if you're looking for cheap bargains, this is not the place to visit. Nevertheless, I wouldn't recommend the effort to go 35 minutes outside of Barcelona city just for this outlet mall if you are coming from the US just save the space in your suitcase and buy your slightly discounted couture in the states. That said, those olives absolutely SLAPPED. My boyfriend and I were both very disappointed b/c we are poor the only thing we actually bought was a jar of olives from a fancy foods store which wasn't to expensive (I think it was like 8 euros or something - just about the only affordable thing there). a few hundred euros for a Lacoste wallet, another few hundred euros for just about anything in the Versace store, etc. etc.), but the prices were on par with exactly what I would expect at a US outlet mall, e.g.
We rented a vespa and made the trip out, just to find it is pretty much your average outlet mall (compared to US outlet malls). I personally really like shopping so I was FLOORED by this news, and told my boyfriend we HAD to go. He said the prices were amazing and the brands were genuine, giving me the example of buying a designer suit for like $20 USD. Will start by saying what I heard: a friend and colleague of mine (I'm a med student, he's a dental student for reference) told me that he LOVES this place and makes the effort to travel out of Barcelona city every time he goes there to buy stuff.
