Reasons to go

  • It's lined with independent fashion and streetwear boutiques rather than the chain stores found on nearby streets.
📖

Full description

Carrer d'Avinyó is a narrow Gothic Quarter street known for independent fashion boutiques and streetwear shops rather than the chain stores found on nearby thoroughfares, and it carries a bohemian, artistic history — the street's name is widely associated with the young Picasso, who lived and worked in the area. Its moderate hidden-gem score fits a street that's known to shopping enthusiasts without being a major sightseeing stop, and its solid trendy and aesthetic scores suit visitors looking for smaller, independent labels over big brands.
