Watchcelona: watches made in Barcelona
Founded in 1991, Watchcelona produces a variety of well designed watches.Some are inspired in classical models, with big numbers and leather straps, rather minimalist. There is also a line of digital watches quite original and models decorated with works by artists such as Joan Miró and Chillida. Well known designers have collaborated with Watchcelona (Miquel Milà, Quim Larrea, Mariscal, América Sánchez...) which has also produced watches for Spanish fashion designers (Amaya Arzuaga, Roberto Verino, Lydia Delgado...). They are working on a new website but the catalog displaying all models is available online.

Shopping is one of the pleasures of foreign travel and this blog will help you discover Barcelona through shopping. The things we buy when we travel can bring us fun and pleasure, help us grow, create good memories, and share special moments later on. In Barcelona, shopping districts are knitted in the fabric of the city and some of them, made of narrow streets with small shops -where tourists and locals mingle- are a very distinctive trait of our Mediterranean culture. Come and enjoy!!
I am Spanish and, although I wasn´t born in Barcelona, this is the city where I have lived most of my life. For the last twenty years I have done a lot of international travel mostly for work and, being back to Barcelona after five years of living abroad, I felt like sharing a perspective to help others discover the city through shopping. This is a blog intended mainly for travelers and foreigners which is why I have chosen to write it in English. Nevertheless, everybody is invited to participate, and comments in French, Italian or Portuguese and, of course, Spanish and Catalan are also welcome.
