La Roca Village - The ultimate luxury shopping destination in Spain!
Located in the heart of the autonomous region of Catalan in Spain, La Roca Village is one of the few places which offer multiple shopping options for high-end luxury brands in the country.
La Roca Village is part of the Collection of nine Chic Outlet Shopping® Villages by Value Retail. It has more than 140 luxury brands which offer travelers unprecedented options to pick from.
From Adolfo Dominguez to Bally to Coccinelle and Lupo, the options to shop are simply mind-boggling. There is also Fossil, Burberry, Escada, Gant and many many more. In fact if you plan to visit the village to shop, you must check out this link to read more.
The good news is that many of these stores also have products on sale, which means getting a good deal for your buck isn't exactly impossible! :)
Both me and my travel partner, Anwesha, are not fans of shopping we sat around in cafes, drank gallons of coffee, looked at people passing by with extremely large number of bags and simply chilled. It was February but the weather was perfect to laze around in the afternoon sun to keep us warm.
I also did a fair bit of window shopping and was almost tempted to buy sunglasses. Thankfully I remembered on time that I rarely wear them (as my style quotient is practically zero), and so saved some money.
To top it up you can either go to Starbucks or Lobby cafe or Cafes and Tapas, for coffee and mini-snacks.
The place looks so authentic that for half my time there, I was under the impression that I was in an ancient town! Oh...this is quite embarrassing :P

Beyond shopping at La Roca Village
Not a big fan of luxury products or even shopping? Well, in that case it's perhaps not worth coming all the way to the village. However, if you do end up here with friends or family, there is still much for you to do - especially if you love food, like I do!

Food at La Roca Village
There are multiple dining options at the village, from traditional Catalan delicacies to healthy options to simply cafes serving tiny portions. We ate our lunch in the open at Pasarela and I would strongly recommend it to everyone who goes there. There is also Mori by Parco which is expeiclaly famous for sushi and sashimi.To top it up you can either go to Starbucks or Lobby cafe or Cafes and Tapas, for coffee and mini-snacks.
Architecture of La Roca
The village is actually quite new, though it looks like a typical old Catalan village, on which it's modeled. The beautifully colored shops, and lanes, all give the feel of a medieval town in the 21st century.The place looks so authentic that for half my time there, I was under the impression that I was in an ancient town!
