Zara!

My favorite store in Barcelona is Zara.  Amancia Ortea Gaona founded it in 1963 and he is one of the richest people in Spain today.  It is one of the largest fashion brands in Europe right now and here are over three thousand Zara stores in the world.  The stores carry clothing for people of all ages.  Before coming to Europe, I did not like Zara.  In fact, I went to Zara several times in New York City and I have never bought anything.  Now, I cannot go into Zara without wanting to buy something.  There is such a wide range of styles and very unique apparel.  I think the Zara stores in the United States should be just as good as the one in Barcelona.  However, Zara is great all over Europe.  I have traveled to many different cities while studying abroad and I have seen at least one Zara store in every city I have visited.  There is a large Zara store located on Passeig de Gracia, which is one of the most beautiful streets in Barcelona.  This street houses the top designer international and Spanish brands.  I walk on this street all the time and pass Zara.  It is difficult to not run inside and see the latest trends and styles featured throughout the store.  I will miss Passeig de Gracia, Zara and everything this part of Barcelona has to offer when I return to the United States.
