House shopping in Spain

  1. A

    Convento Santa Úrsula

    Toledo is famed for its ceramics and its mazapán (marzipan), which every shop seems to sell regardless of the quality. The Santo Tomé brand is reputable and there are several outlets in town, including one on Zocodover. Even the local nuns get in on the marzipan act - check out Convento Santa Úrsula.

  2. B

    Gemma Povo

    Several streets in the heart of old Barcelona bustle with decades of collected furniture, gewgaws and other odd sights. Rummagers should head for Carrer de la Palla (B2) and Carrer dels Banys Nous (B3) for starters. In the latter is this interesting stop, where you'll find items in the house speciality: wrought iron.

    Taller Antic

    Step back in time and place as you handle the delicate silver and glassware. Old-style perfume bottles, the kind of accessories ladies might and gents might have used in the 19th century, make this a nostalgic's corner of paradise.
