The London Lounge

Gentlemen:

Are there any shops, restaurants, and galleries that my wife and I should not miss in our homage to Catalonia next week?

Many thanks in advance.

Hopefully your trip went well. I'm planning to visit Barcelona next year. I've heard that Bel y Cia (http://www.belbarcelona.com/) is worth visiting. Perhaps Carmina and Yanko have stores there as well?[/url]

Bel is a wonderful shop, with an excellent selection of goods -- E. Green shoes, lovely knitwear, and a very refined in-house line of ties and pocket squares Service is faultless.

I did not see Carmina, but Yanko and Lotusse shoes are widely available, though except for one or two of the higher-grade models they are not particularly distinguished.
