On Avinguda Diagonal many shops and malls are dedicated for the inhabitants of Barcelona and not for tourists so you can find also cheap shops and outlets on the avenue.
Both on the west and east side of the street you can find many shops where you can buy clothes and toys for kids. Next to the beach you can visit the Glories Shopping Center and several small malls. In the western part, near Maria Cristina, there are also numerous family-friendly shops.
