CenTexGal Posted June 30, 2015 #1 Share Posted June 30, 2015 Quick question about Barcelona...we are arriving in Barcelona two days before our cruise, and staying in the Las Rambles area. We need to buy wine to take onboard and also juice and diet cokes. Is this readily available in the area we will be in, or will we need to go out of the area? Thanks for any help you can give me.

plan09 Posted July 1, 2015 #2 Share Posted July 1, 2015 I am learning about the same. From what I understand there is a Carrefour on Las Ramblas that will have the things you need. If you are close there is a market in El Corte Ingles basement at Placa Catalunya Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

English_in_Spain Posted July 1, 2015 #5 Share Posted July 1, 2015 There is a Carrefour Express supermarket right on Las Ramblas up towards Placa Catalunya. You will get everything you need there and it will be much cheaper than Corte Ingles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare VMax1700 Posted July 1, 2015 #7 Share Posted July 1, 2015 That Carrefour is on the right hand side if travelling from Placa Catalunya towards the port. It has a very good noodle bar at the entrance if you need a quick fix of carbs. Bring a strong carrier bag with you as their plastic bags are a bit lightweight and there is a charge for them. The lines for the cash desks look haphazard, but they move quickly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many uses for those bags on the cruise!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love Cava and would buy a bottle there that wasn't much more than the price of a bottle of come - and it was very drinkable! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CenTexGal Posted July 5, 2015 Author #10 Share Posted July 5, 2015 Been looking at the map of Barcelona, looks like Carrefour is just up the street from our hotel! Couldn't be more convenient. Thank everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
budbo Posted July 30, 2015 #11 Share Posted July 30, 2015 As discussed on a different thread, there is a wine/liquor shop right in the Barcelona port terminal. The shop is after you go thru security, and we've never had our bags checked again after shopping there. Prices are probably a bit higher than in town, but you can't beat the convenience. I seem to remember seeing bottled water for sale there as well, but can't say for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very glad we bought what we wanted at the Carrefour. Our carry-on bag had wheels so it was easy to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
