The Barcelona Retail Prize
Barcelona is a dynamic, creative and open city, with a wide range of cultural and business offerings recognized throughout Europe. The great commercial and associative offerings stand out, which represent a source of wealth and are the backbone of life in the city. Year after year, Barcelona's commerce proves that it is one of the key players in our city and works to strengthen the cohesion of neighborhoods, serve neighbors and continue to grow in its presence in the digital world.
The Department of Commerce, Restaurants and Food of Barcelona City Council wants to recognize the contribution of our merchants to the city. For this reason, it is organizing the 26th edition of the Barcelona Commerce Award, unified with the Barcelona Markets Award. The awards consist of six categories.
