Apple's beautiful Passeig de Gràcia store in the heart of Barcelona reopened today, after being closed for around three months for renovations.
According to the Spanish blog Applesfera, the store's large video wall has been replaced with a dedicated Apple Pickup station for online orders. The indoor trees and wood cube seats that surrounded the screen have also been removed. With these fixtures removed, the store's iconic glass staircase is more visible again.
In addition, the store's terrazzo floor has received a brighter white finish.

I dropped in a few hours ago (I deliberately arranged my trip to Barcelona to coincide with the reopening — does that make me a sad person?). I didn’t notice any changes from my visit last year. This probably says more about my powers of observation than anything else!
