Natura: gift-hunters, rejoice!
Wherever you are in Barcelona, you won’t be too far from a branch of Natura: there are almost 20 of them scattered across the city, so it would be hard not to discover this innovative chain. Most are shown on the map at the end of this article.
Natura was launched in 1992 by Montse and Sergio, two Barcelonians with a passion for travel and for the exotic; if that sounds like your cup of tea, it’s definitely worth having a look around one of their shops.
The newest addition to the Natura family in Barcelona
Natura’s latest offering can be found on the lower ground floor of the Illa shopping centre on avenue Diagonal, near the FNAC.
Whilst it may be the “baby” of the family in terms of age, in terms of size, it’s pretty big. Opened in October 2012, it covers over 300 m2 of prime shopping space, decked out in natural pine and oak tones. The light-up screen welcoming visitors to the store makes it easy to spot.
Divided into five spacious but distinct zones, the shop showcases a wide variety of articles. It’s a great place for finding original gift ideas, from amusing gadgets, travel items, wellbeing and fashion and hobby articles to books, decorative objects, kitchen equipment and homewares.
