Fun shopping tour (and more!) for the Leatherwood

Loretta Leatherwood and her two great teen daughters were coming to Barcelona, and their friends the Horvath recomended them my tours, specially the shopping tour! (Anna, the Horvath mum, and I had had so much fun on our special shopping afternoon!)


So the Leatherwood and I met first of all for a 5h city tour where we explored the Gaudí sites and the Old Town at ease. Then a few days later (they had planned a short trip to Madrid in between) we met again for some SHOPPING!


Seeing what they were interested in, we planned to spend our shopping tour in the Old Town. We had a lot to hunt for! They were mostly interested in leather bags, but they also needed a leather belt, some jewelry and presents, and some clothes for the girls. 





So there we went! We started our tour in the Born district, where we found some great local stores with fun complements and they got a scarf and plenty of hand-made bracelets and necklaces for their friends as gifts. 


We also stopped at some fashion stores such as Custo Barcelona, and then we moved to the Mercè district for some more shop-exploring. They had also heard about our world-famous spadrille store, and of course we stopped by. You wouldn't believe how many pairs we got for everyone they could think of! That was so cool. 


We walked around a bit more stopping here and there, and then we visited a leather store where we found the leather bags for the girls and some other things. 


And next we entered a gorgeous jewelry store than only sells hand-made items made by artists living in Barcelona. They have great stuff! From fun fried-egg earrings to delicate pieces made with casted flower petals. Of course, that was another favorite!


Then I took them to a place specialising in abarcas, a Mallorca summer type of sandal they had seen some people wearing. We got a few pairs there aswell.


And to finish the tour, we stopped at a very special workshop where a lady makes her own very special leather bags. High quality and top design, plus they can be customized if you wish. They were leaving on the next day and there was no time to get theirs done in time: so they paid a deposit and will have them shipped home.


That was a great shopping tour!
