Cheaper souvenirs here!
No, this isn't little Amman, Jordan. It's a Barcelona souvenir shop. They have a bunch of things to tack to your walls, put on your shelves, or send home to the family back home. Nobody local comes to shop here. It's all souvenir stuff. They have all the Gaudi stuff- cool postcards, tile mosaic stuff. I liked their little statues of bullfighters (bullfighting has been banned for years here.)
They had a large variety of souvenirs that went beyond the stuff you see on La Rambla, since there's more Gaudi themed things- it's around the corner from Parc Guell.
The staff was kind and attentive. When we were exiting, a member of our party tripped on the exit transom at the door, and fell in to the display of refrigerator magnets. Everything clattered to the floor. A magnet or two were broken, but that's it- no serious injuries other than scraped knees and bruised pride. The staff was extremely gracious about the whole incident and were more concerned about the injuries than their merchandise. They insisted the we not pay for the broken magnets, and were very nice about the whole thing. read more
