• La Roca Village Shopping Express: Roundtrip from Barcelona

  Thirty minutes north of Barcelona's Gothic Quarter, La Roca Village operates one of Europe's most efficient <a href="/attractions" class="internal-link">shopping</a> shuttles—a direct express service connecting <a href="/skyline" class="internal-link">the city center</a> to this collection of 140 luxury and premium boutiques.
