  • Housed in the 15th-century Palau Castanyer, this enormous shop stocks posters, photos, oil paintings, souvenirs and prints of works by well-known Spanish artists.

  • This warehouse-sized store has a vast array of colourful hand-made ceramics from all over Spain. Take your pick from a superb selection of Spanish wines and cured hams in the wine cellar.

  • This shop’s delicate, hand-painted silks are created in an on-site workshop. Unusual designs include a Klimt-inspired, gilded silk.

  • Sink your teeth into torró , the Spanish nougat-and-almond speciality. Casa Colomina, established in 1908, offers a tantalizing array.

  • Founded in 1761, this is Barcelona’s oldest shop. Today you’ll find it crammed with every kind of candle imaginable.

  • El Mercadillo

    A neon-lit mini-mall, with vintage clothes, records and trendy accessories, all housed in a stately 18th-century palace.

  • Escribà Confiteria i Fleca

    If the glistening pastries and towering chocolate creations aren’t enough of a lure, then the Modernista store-front certainly is. Buy goodies to go, or enjoy them on the spot in the small café.

  • What do the Pope, Jack Nicholson and legions of Barcelonins have in common? They buy their espadrilles (alpargatas ) here.

  • Amazing antique clothing from flapper dresses to boned corsets, silk shawls, puff sleeved shirts and pin-tucked shirt fronts. There’s also a selection of antique dolls and fans.

  • Survive Barcelona’s summer heat the old-fashioned way: buy a fan. From antique to hand-painted and contemporary fans, there are plenty to choose from. Also featured are original paintings by Catalan artists.
