Arenas de Barcelona
Areas de Barcelona, also known as Las Arenas, is a shopping mall located next to Plaça Espanya. It was a former bullfighting ring, built by August Font y Carreras in 1900. It was a magnetic place for all bullfighting lovers and could room 16000 fans inside.
The last bullfight was held on 19th of June, 1977. For a long time the building had stood empty. In 2011, its doors were opened to be refurbished. The arena has raised one level and has a new rooftop cupola with a public viewing terrace, ideal for an outstanding view of city. The dome of cupola has placed a concert and theatre hall that is now used for different kinds of events.
In Las Arenas you definitely find everything, counting with more than 110 shops, restaurants and service centers. Numerous famous trademarks such as Mango, Sephora, Calvin Klein, Miss Sixty, Swarovski, Desigual have their stores here.
It has cinema, called Arenas Multicines 3D, that shows all the latest international movies in one of the showrooms. There is also a “Museum del Rock” that is opened on the 4th floor. So if you are a fan of “Beatles” or “Rolling Stones”, you should include this spot to your “must-visit” list.
