The shop at El Prat
If U R fan of football, the "Barça" /FC Barcelona) is an institution here. You can buy T-Shirts of Ronaldinho or Saviola, mugs, cups, pencils.... whatever U like!
There are several FCB shops in the town, and even one at El Prat airport, and U can find some items at souvenir shops too...

Some of the postcards
I stopped doing photos inside the modernist buildings when I saw the wide variety of postcards reflecting every possible corner and detail of these buildings, both inside and outside them.
Is a cheap option to buying those fantastic books on modernist architecture that you will find in souvenirs shops too...

Some bird cages
In the central sidewalk of Las Ramblas Avenue, nearly in front of La Boqueria market, you can find many street stalls selling birds and other pets.
Is a nice place to walk with kids, as it's like a small zoo, with a wide variety of animals, from parrots to lizards, hamsters, dogs...
Address: Rambla 91

Maremagnum from Colon
This huge Mall is located by the sea, near the "Moll de Fusta" Harbour.
Here you can find many shops and restaurants, is very nice in summer to have lunch by a terrace here.
By night they have discos and clubs here as well, though the ambiance and lack of security make it a not very advisable place!

The entrance
At the beginning of "Las Ramblas" (between Placa Reial and the Colon Statue) you can find this internet cafe, with many computers (333) and convenient prices.
It is part of a big chain, with shops in Madrid and other european capitals. You can use the bonus of BCN in Madrid and viceversa.
There is another one in BCN at Ronda d'Universitat.
What to buy: Open 08-2:30 in the morning, 7 days a week
Address: Las Ramblas, 31

The stalls
At the Pi Square, in the Gothic Quarter ther is a street market, I think is on saturdays only, where you can find some local products, mainly gastronomy: local cheeses, ham, honey... products produced in Catalonia, in the countryside.
Theme: Local Craft
A modernist shop window
In most of the souvenirs shops of BCN you can find many items with a modernist flavour, from lamps to ashtries, from notebooks to handkerchiefs...
They use to be very elegant and colourful and make a perfect gift back home.

A view of the avenue
This wide avenue that goes from Placa de Catalunya to Juan Carlos I Sq. is to BCN what Champs Elysees is to Paris.
Here you will find beautiful buildings and the more expensive international firms, from Cartier to Loewe...
Directions: Metro Pg. de Gracia
Theme: Women's Clothes
The entrance
This popular food market has some of the best food stands in all Spain. The quality is excellent and the presentation too. OK, you won't buy many fresh food, but anyway, the place deserves a visit, not only for the local ambiance, but also for the architecture of the place and the nice coloured glass.
Spanish writer Vazquez Montalban, known as a gourmet, came here daily to buy fresh products...
Address: Rambla 91
Directions: Just in the middle of the Ramblas, near the Metro
Theme: Food and Drink
The shopping area
At the El Prat airport you will find a huge area for shopping, with many kinds of shops, from Souvenirs to chocolates, wines, books... I arrived 30 minutes earlier than I should to the airport and had a good time wandering around...
