Taller Refractari is a ceramic shop. The artist is very nice; she makes handmade ceramics herself. Another store I recommend is UBIKA VINILO, where you can get a very high-quality apron printed with your name for only 26 euros. However, you won't get it on the same day—you'll have to come back after a day or so to collect it. It is a very good souvenir from Barcelona. Also, the owner/staff are very warm. We were happy to stumble upon this place while walking around Barcelona.
At Plaça de Catalunya, we saw many birds. Avda. del Portal de l'Àngel is a notable street where we saw sellers offering soaps, leather products, jewelry, etc. Planelles Donat has been in business since 1859. We got two scoops of ice cream here for 4.20 euros. Mikko got Blanc i Negre, and I also got a local drink called Horchata for 1.95 euros, which you can buy here.
Reial Cercle Artístic de Barcelona — we just came across this gem while exploring Barcelona. What a generous place! There’s so much to see, including a free art exhibition right in the heart of town.
At Mercat del Pi, they sell jams, cheese, beeswax candles, honey, salami, nuts, chocolates, etc. Nearby is the Mural Alicia — check out the Alberto León mural as well. This one caught my attention more, but there's no Google pin for it. So yes, you can check out two street art pieces in this area. Another option is Mercat de Santa Caterina, which boasts nice architecture and is less crowded than Mercat del Pi.
Of course, there's also La Sagrada Família, which costs 26 euros to enter. It's the most colorful, artistically designed basilica I’ve ever seen. With so much color and character, it could pass as a quirky Disney castle. You can also check out Plaça de Gaudí, the park in front of Sagrada Família.
Pg. de Gràcia is another notable street with brands such as Cartier, Prada, Fendi, Rolex, Gucci, Chopard, Bulgari, and Dior — so many luxury stores around here. We also passed by Albert Carnisseria. It's very local, with kind sellers and owners. We bought some delicious and affordable salami and ate it while walking around Barcelona.
