Art Montfalcon
Beneath the over-arching vaults of this Gothic cavern is spread an incredible range of gift ideas and art. The most appealing are the prints of local and universal inspiration. Thrown in are original works of art by local artists, framed and ready to go, and a whole range of Barcelona memorabilia, from ceramics to arty T-shirts.

Villegas Ceràmica
For some curious ceramics that have nothing to do with traditional wares, poke your head in here. Arresting items include owl’s-head clocks (in which the eyes move back and forth), pottery statues of stretched human figures, Barcelona taxis, ceramic wall-hangings and loads of other original items.

Sala Parés
Picasso had works on sale here a century ago in what is one of the city’s most venerable and still-dynamic private galleries. In business since 1877, the gallery has maintained its position as one of the city’s leading purveyors of Catalan art – with works from the 19th century to the present.

Drap
This busy shop brings out the giddy little girl in all of us - which generally comes as a surprise to blokes - as it's packed to the rafters with everything relating to dolls and their well-being, from miniature jars of jam to intricate handmade mansions.

BSB Alfombras
Designer carpets and rugs are strung up like the modern works of art they are. Hand-knotted rugs maintain tradition in production as does the use of fine Tibetan wool and Chinese silk, but designs are contemporary and challenging.

El Indio
Take a giant leap back into the late 19th century. You probably won’t be in the market for bolts of cloth while in Barcelona, but admire the Modernista shop front before simply wandering in for a look around this time-warp store.

Teranyina
Artist Teresa Rosa Aguayo runs this textile workshop in the heart of the artsy bit of El Raval. You can join courses at the loom, admire some of the rugs and other works that Teresa has created and, of course, buy them.

Marc 3
A yawning cavern of posters, prints and original paintings awaits those who need to dress their walls. You can go for the tried and true Robert Doisneau kissing scenes or some wonderfully obscure reproduction adverts.
