    Old Curiosity Shop

    For anything from handmade soaps to French calendar diaries of the 1930s or antique tea sets, this is a fun hole-in-the-wall shop to rummage about it in, hidden in a side lane near the Església de Santa Maria del Mar.

    Antigüedades Hom

    Specialising in antique Spanish fans, this tiny shop is a wonderful place to browse or to find a special gift, especially delicately painted fans and those made with bone. It’s open mostly afternoons only because the owner spends the mornings restoring the fans you see for sale. It’s also a purveyor of other treasures and bric-a-brac.

    México

    A treasure chest of original old maps and drawings, this is a great place to find a unique souvenir of Spain. Some 160 folders hold antique maps of Madrid, Spain and the rest of the world. These are all originals or antique copies, not modern reprints, so prices range from a few hundred to thousands of euros. Just down the road, México II sells cheaper reprints.

    El Bulevard dels Antiquaris

    More than 70 stores (most are open from 11am to 2pm and from 5pm to 8.30pm) are gathered under one roof (on the floor above the more general Bulevard Rosa arcade) to offer the most varied selection of collector’s pieces, ranging from old porcelain dolls through to fine crystal, from Asian antique furniture to old French goods, and from African and other ethnic art to jewellery.
