Award-winning designer Teresa

Helbig is fascinated by fabrics.

Growing up, she spent a lot of

time in her mother’s dressmak-

the aspects of fashion that are not

immediately visible: the excellence

of the fabrics, the perfect stitching

and the tiny fnishing touches that

make a garment just so. Unsur-

prisingly, Helbig was flled with a

passion for the world of clothing,

and with her eponymous label

she is putting her hard-earned

knowledge into practice. Visit her

STREETS AHEAD

With its luxury boutiques, high-end restaurants and standout architecture, Passeig de Gràcia

has been Barcelona’s most prestigious boulevard for more than two centuries.

Hannah Lewis takes a tour

42 | F E AT U R E S

A bustling shopping destina-

tion, Passeig de Gràcia is

one of the most prestigious

streets in Spain, and arguably the

most famous luxury destination

in Barcelona. Rumoured to be

Spain’s most expensive street

when it comes to property prices,

it is home to many of the Catalo-

nian capital’s top hotels and res-

taurants, as well as world-famous

architecture, and boutiques from

some of the world’s most sought-

after designer brands.

Passeig de Gràcia has been a

favourite haunt of the well-heeled

and style-conscious since the

early 19th century. It originally

connected Barcelona and Gràcia,

then a suburb of the city, and

aristocrats focked to the street

to parade in their smart horse-

drawn carriages. By 1897, when

Gràcia was formally annexed to

Barcelona, and the area between

developed to form a new area

called Eixample (‘the extension’),

the Passeig had gone from being a

road lined by felds to Barcelona’s

most stylish street. As smart new

residents moved in, businesses

soon followed suit and exclusive

stores shared space with some of

the city’s fnest mansions.

The street’s prestigious reputa-

tion has only increased over time,

and today it is home to not only

the best Spanish luxury labels

but also the fnest international

brands. Passeig de Gràcia is now

This world-

famous street has

represented the

epicentre of luxury

in Barcelona for

well over a century

recognised worldwide as a shop-ping destination on a par with streets such as New York’s Fifth Avenue and Paris’s Champs-Élysées, ofering everything from Prada and Valentino to Manolo Blahnik and Louis Vuitton.

Among the stars of the street’s retail landscape are some of Spain’s oldest stores, including acclaimed multi-brand boutique Santa Eulalia. Founded in 1843, it carries an expertly curated selec-tion of the latest in luxury men’s

and women’s fashion and acces-sories. As well as must-have items from everyone from long-estab-lished names to exciting emerging brands, the store has a bespoke atelier for tailoring, and has a café and a picturesque roof terrace.

For Santa Eulalia and the other businesses that call the street home, Passeig de Gràcia is far more than just a location – a fact refected in the existence of a thriving local association. Established in 1952, L’Associació

and historical sites.’ Such a one-

of-a-kind place merits a similarly

prominent association to look after

it, and Sans and his team work

tirelessly to maintain the integrity

of the Passeig and its surround-

ing area, ensuring that the stores,

restaurants, hotels and cultural

sights remain of a high standard

for locals and visitors alike.

Two of the most important

cultural attractions along the

Passeig were designed by Spain’s

most famous architect, Antoni

Gaudí. La Pedrera (also known

as Casa Milà) and Casa Batlló,

former aristocratic residences that

now house museums, are prime

example of Catalan modernism.

Even so, they are by no means the

only buildings of note. Since the

early 20th century, the Passeig

has been home to works by some

of Spain’s most notable architects,

including Josep Puig i Cadafalch,

Lluís Domènech i Montaner and

Pere Falqués i Urpi, who also de-

signed the street’s ornate benches

and street lamps.

With a location of this calibre,

it is not surprising that some of

the nation’s top chefs have chosen

to open restaurants here. The

two-Michelin star restaurant

Moments takes Catalan culinary

culture to the next level, ofering

a modern take on the region’s cui-

sine. Focusing on the fnest fresh

seasonal produce available, chef

Above (from top): Moments at the Mandarin Oriental hotel; one of Roca Moo’s modern dishes

Carme Ruscalleda creates simple

yet powerful dishes bursting with

favour.

Another award-winning

restaurant is Roca Moo, overseen

by El Celler de Can Roca and

managed by chef Juan Pretel Roca.

The menu is decidedly modern,

with dishes such as codfsh,

caulifower and touches of orange

proving both fresh and delicious.

It’s not just about award-

winning names, however. There is

a restaurant on Passeig de Gràcia

to suit every taste and palate,

from experimental gastronomy to

traditional tapas, and with more

opening each year it’s clear the

street’s heyday is far from over.

Passeig de Gràcia ofers myri-

ad attractions, from its world-class

array of stores and restaurants

to its enduring cultural signif-

cance. With the association and its

friends working hard to keep the

area vibrant, with events such as

the annual Christmas shopping

night in late November, it seems

likely that this famed street, repre-

senting the epicentre of luxury in

Barcelona for well over a century,

will continue to attract visitors

from across the world for many

years to come

Spain has a long history when it

comes to chocolate. Thanks to

its intrepid explorers, cacao was

introduced to the country from the

Americas in the 16th century, and

rapidly became part of the culinary

landscape. From the earliest days, it

was seen as something to be drunk

rather than eaten, echoing the way

the Aztecs in Central America

used it – though the original,

rather bitter brew was sweetened

to suit European tastes. It became

a favourite of the Spanish royal

family and their courtiers, and was

soon enjoying huge popularity at

all levels of society.

Even today, chocolate remains a

much-loved hot drink, and churros

y chocolate – slender doughnuts

dusted with sugar, served with

chocolate thick enough to stand a

spoon up in – is a popular breakfast

or late-night treat. Thanks to

the eforts of the country’s fnest

chocolatiers, however, Spaniards

are also developing a taste for

other cacao-related products,

from bespoke bars to exquisitely

favoured trufes.

Barcelona’s confectioners are fnding ways to

make chocolate even more irresistible,

Oriol Balaguer is one of Spain’s

most eminent confectioners and

his creations – as you’d expect

from a former colleague of world-

famous experimental chef Ferran

Adrià – are mouth-watering works

of art. He has several stores in

Barcelona, but for chocolate lovers

the one to visit is La Xocolateria

by Oriol Balaguer. The boutique

showcases Oriol’s 20 chocolate

collections, which are all shaped

to resemble half a cocoa pod. Fla-

vours are imaginative and surpris-

ing: think wasabi, yuzu, olive oil

and trufe. There’s also a range

of chocolate bars, all made to the

highest standards. Don’t leave

without tasting one of the truly

indulgent hot chocolates, available

in milk, white or dark varieties.

For those who like their chocolate on the artisanal side, there are few places that will please more than Chök. Visitors to the boutique and café, located conveniently close to La Rambla, will fnd it almost

impossible to leave without sam-pling at least one of the tempting sweet treats. Star billing is given to the chöks, described as gourmet doughnuts, which are super light and crispy; 30 diferent varieties are baked daily, including plenty of chocolate-themed favours such as the chocolate Marmitako, a cacao lover’s take on a classic Basque dish. For something more straightforward, Chök’s hand-made chocolate slabs, with their simple yet chic packaging, are a sure winner.

На шаг впереди

Passeig de Gràcia с его фешенебельными ресторанами и выдающейся архитектурой вот уже более двух столетий считается самым престижным бульваром Барселоны, – рассказывает Ханна Льюис

Passeig de Gràcia – одно из самых знаменитых мест города, пользующееся большой популярностью

среди гостей Барселоны. На этой улице расположена самая дорогая недвижимость Испании, а также целый ряд роскошных отелей, ресторанов, дизайнерских бутиков и знаменитых архитектурных сооружений.

Бульвар Passeig de Gràcia еще с 19 века является излюбленным местом испанского бомонда. Когда-то улица соединяла Барселону и Грасию, слившихся позднее в один конгломерат. Именно сюда из самых разных уголков съезжались знатные

аристократы в своих изящных конных экипажах. К 1897 году Грасия формально стала частью Барселоны, пространство между ними получило название Eixample («расширение»), а простая полевая дорога Passeig превратилась в одну из самых роскошных улиц города. Почти сразу здесь появились ряды престижных особняков и первые стильные горожане того времени, ну а за эксклюзивными магазинами и лавками дело не постояло.

С годами статус улицы только возрастал, и имя Passeig de Gràcia стало узнаваемо по всему миру наряду с такими улицами, как Пятая Авеню в Нью-Йорке и Елисейские Поля в Париже. Сегодня здесь располагаются представительства самых лучших испанских и мировых брендов класса «люкс»: от Prada и Valentino до Manolo Blahnik и Louis Vuitton.

Среди местных достопримечательностей – несколько магазинов, являющихся старейшими в Испании, в их числе мультибрендовый бутик Santa Eulalia. Он был основан в 1843 году и с тех пор неизменно предлагает тщательно подобранные образцы мужской и женской одежды, а также аксессуары. Помимо прекрасного ассортимента вещей как от всемирно известных брендов, так и от начинающих дизайнеров,

магазин располагает собственным ателье, кафетерием и террасой на крыше с отличными видами. Для Santa Eulalia и других местных компаний Passeig de Gràcia больше чем просто улица. à 1952 году даже была создана специальная ассоциация L’Associació d’Amics del Passeig de Gràcia во главе с основателем Santa Eulalia Луи Сансом, призванная сохранить уникальную культуру и атмосферу этого места.

«Passeig de Gràcia – самая значительная коммерческая улица Барселоны, – говорит Санс. – Это одна из немногих торговых улиц мира, где помимо лучших бутиков можно также найти хорошие рестораны, отели и исторические достопримечательности». Любое уникальное место, подобное этому, нуждается в соответствующей защите и поддержке, и Санс вместе со своей командой делает все возможное, чтобы обеспечить целостность Passeig de Gràcia и ее окрестностей. Так, ассоциация внимательно следит за тем, чтобы местные магазины, рестораны, отели, и культурные объекты всегда придерживались самых высоких стандартов и отвечали нуждам, как местных жителей, так и туристов.

Две из самых важных культурных достопримечательностей в районе Passeig были

спроектированы великим испанским архитектором Антонио Гауди. Бывшие резиденции аристократов La Pedrera (также известная, как Casa Milà) и Casa Batllo – теперь являются музеями и представляют собой яркий пример каталонского модернизма. Однако на этом культурные объекты отнюдь не заканчиваются. С начала 20 века улица Passeig начала стремительно преображаться благодаря совместным усилиям целой плеяды испанских зодчих, среди которых были Жозеп Пуч-и-Кадафалк, Льюис

Доменек-и-Монтанер и Пере Фалькес-и-Урпи, который также принимал участие в дизайне уличных скамеек и фонарей.

Принимая во внимание популярность этого места, не удивительно, что именно здесь открылись рестораны наиболее знаменитых испанских шеф-поваров. Ресторан Moments, получивший две мишленовские звезды, предлагает посетителям традиционные блюда каталонской кухни в современной интерпретации. Шеф-повар Карме Рускалледа уделяет основное внимание свежим

Roca Moo – еàе один известный испанский ресторан, являюàийся проектом El Celler de Can Roca и шеф-повара Хуана Претель Рока. В меню всегда можно найти современные блюда, такие как, треска с цветной капустой и апельсинами.

Однако дело не только в наградах. На Passeig de Gràcia найдется ресторан на любой вкус и кошелек, от экспериментальной кухни

до традиционных тапас, а увеличиваюàееся с каждым годом количество кулинарных заведений говорит о том, что улица только переживает свой расцвет.

Passeig de Gràcia предлагает своим посетителям мириады развлечений, от первоклассных магазинов и ресторанов до бесценных культурных достопримечательностей. А благодаря заботливой поддержке со стороны ассоциации и ее членов, а также большому числу мероприятий, таких как, ежегодная Рождественская ночь шоппинга,
