La Roca Village: a shopping village 15 minutes from home

The Bicester Collection's shopping destination in Barcelona: cobbled streets, designer boutiques in colourful little houses and sunny terraces.

In La Roca del Vallès, next to Santa Agnès de Malanyanes, lies La Roca Village. It is not a shopping centre: it is a small village of cobbled streets, with designer boutiques in colourful little houses and sunny terraces. It opened in 1998, is The Bicester Collection's shopping destination in Barcelona and today brings together more than 150 boutiques of fashion, accessories, beauty and homeware.

It is luxury at outlet prices: brands sell previous-season collections here at up to 60% off the original price. It is open every day from 10:00 to 21:00, except on some public holidays, parking is free and between the boutiques there are restaurants and terraces for a break.

From Cardedeu, Vallromanes or Llinars, La Roca Village is about 15 minutes away: an afternoon of strolling and shopping without going into the city, a special gift or a coffee in the sun with friends. For newcomers, one more reason to settle in the Vallès Oriental.
