Rec.0 Experimental Stores is a new concept of retail. It is the transformation of an old industrial neighbourhood, called Rec (Igualada). Twice a year and during 4 days, the old factories and tanneries become pop up fashion stores where top brands sell their stocks and samples at low price.

It was born on November of 2009 by the hand of six people who were committed with Rec’s neighbourhood, and they wanted to make the quarter known and connect it with the fashion’s world.

The last edition was on the 3rd, 4th, 5th and 6th of June (Rec.011), but each edition is different from the other. It is a good chance to find top brands, such as Adidas, Mango, Desigual… at low price in a very especial atmosphere. However, it is not only fashion, but culture too. There are cultural activities like concerts, poetry reading, exhibitions, projections…

‘Passeig de Gràcia’ is one of the major avenues in Barcelona and one of its most important shopping and business areas, containing several of the city's most celebrated pieces of architecture. It is located in the central part of ‘Eixample’, stretching from ‘Plaça Catalunya’ to ‘Carrer Gran de Gràcia’.

There are lots of luxurious shops along“Passeig de Gràcia”. As a result, it is sometimes compared to walk in the “Champs Elysees” in Paris and the “Fifth Avenue” in New York.

We love ‘Passeig de Gràcia’ because we can have a walk while seeing Barcelona and its magnificent buildings. Among these buildings, the most important and recognized ones are:

· Casa Batlló by Antoni Gaudí (1904-1906)

· Casa Bonaventura Ferrer by Pere Falqués i Urpí (1906)

How to get there?

We can go by metro: stop at “Passeig de Gràcia” (L1) and “Diagonal” (L3).


We can also get there by bus and train, but we always recommend the metro to move around in Barcelona.
