With a name like Ale-Hop, I was expecting a bar or other beer themed establishment but in fact,…read moreAle-Hop is a cute design/gift store with really reasonable prices. There are cards, notebooks, jewelry, shoes, scarves, novelty toys, accessories, stuff for kids, stuff for pets, magnets and more! I ended up buying tons of gifts for folks back home - purse hooks, wonderfully patterned reusable bags and writing accessories. For myself, I grabbed a pair of €9 espadrilles and damned if I don't love them to death. I mean, they're cheap and probably won't last long but they're cute, comfy and I've gotten compliments already. My only regret is not snagging a few more pairs.

Located in an alley, this is a shop with a tapas bar on the side. The shop has many cute joke type…read moregifts and souvenirs. I didn't realize that the tapas bar was part of the store. But we've stopped here as well and everything was delicious and fresh. Looking forward to my next trip to Barcelona and coming here!

How did I not know of this place! WHATTTTT! First, you have to go to the hand washing station and…read moreenjoy the expeirence of 1. washing your hands with amazing smelling soap, 2. scrubbing your hand with an amazing smelling body scrub, 3. rubbing lotion on your hands with some super yummy smelling hand lotion. What an experience, I'M SOLD! Now....they have launched hair care products, which allows me to tackle all of my purchases in one store. I'd highly recommend the hair scrub, it smells delicious and leaves your scalp feeling amazing and squeeky clean, the 3-1 mud mask, which is just amazing. My skin felt so soft, smooth and completely clean and who doesn't love minerals from the Dead Sea in their products, you'd have to be crazy not to! Lastly, the hand lotion from the dead sea is just delightful and smells amazing. Those are my top 3 picks, but my friend loves the apply body wash, so that's one to add to the list. Enjoy!

One of the oldest (if not the oldest already) gay adult video stores still working in Barcelona…read more The front part is where most of their movie repertoire and some fetish gear for sale is, and in the back you can find a huge (can't think of a better adjective) collection of dildoes, along with the private video booths where the rented movies are shown. The adult video and toy business has experienced a big modernization in the 2000s, and this shop has been left a bit behind, but it remains interesting as a historical taste of the old underground "Barcelona canalla". Not for the demure!

First off, if you're into beading or making jewelry, the blocks surrounding this store are your…read moretreasure trove. There is store after store selling beads, some specializing in certain types and others running the gamut. This particular store only carries items handcrafted or made in Spain-- you will not find cheap Asian goods here that break, lose gems, etc. They also carry a handful of pre-made items that they've constructed such as long necklaces out of leather ropes and beads, rings, hat pins, bracelets and more. The pre made items especially are a good value; you can get a 30" long necklace, very modern and cool with sterling silver beads and perhaps stone ones as well, about 19-30 euros and handcrafted by their staff. This was by far the busiest bead store on the street when i visited today; they have a number system, so be sure to grab one near the door when you come in if it is crowded. And, much like at meal time in Spain, take your time once you are being served and have all your questions and curiosities entertained. They carry beads, beading fastenings, bead closures, leather rope, leather ribbon, sterling silver beads, glass and stone beads, and finished goods among other detailed items. If you are looking for something unique or hard to find for beading, you should try here first.

The jewelry is great and the staff is wonderful. I got some beautiful silver jewelry here that I…read morelove. Also, they'll ship internationally for a reasonable fee!

I picked up a few of the handwritten and illustrated Barcelona/Spanish specialty recipe postcards (also available as posters!) for myself - they'll look gorgeous framed in my kitchen - and a set of mosaic coasters and a glass bottle cover (to turn an ordinary glass bottle into a gorgeous vase) for my friend :) 10/10 would recommend for those who are looking for a more unique souvenir or gift.

The Mask is held out to be an adult sex shop with a sign in front merely saying "Sex Shop," but is…read morein fact a predominantly gay sex shop. If you check the Internet on it, you'll find most of the information on it has been removed which strikes me as rather strange because as gay sex shops go in Europe, it's really rather good. Being true to their name, they have a variety of masks, a good assortment of leathers including harnesses, collars, jocks and lubes as well as fantasy BDSM and S/M items. It's a clean store with bright lighting and the clerk with whom I spoke was most friendly, polite and full of information about all things gay in Sitges. It's a well-run business, right on one of Sitges's main streets, not some little out of the way hole in the wall as are so many such shops. It has some great window displays with everything set up in a manner that is neat, well kept, and orderly.
