Crafts for the feet
Catalonia stands out for its regional footwear, whose popularity has transcended borders. The alpargata espardenya is the most traditional. Made of hemp, jute, or esparto grass, it’s perfect for the spring or summer months thanks to its lightness and freshness. And La Central Alpargatera is well-versed in handcrafting this type of Catalan footwear. They’ve been creating these shoes for illustrious figures such as Salvador Dalí himself since the 1940s. Their shop exudes history, craftsmanship, and craftsmanship.
It’s definitely a store that deserves to be on your visit list.

Llena de solera
Solera is synonymous with tradition. And one of the most traditional shops is Guantería Alonso. A family business that has been filling its modernist window display with gloves and accessories like the iconic fan in its thousand and one designs since 1905. It also includes traditional shawls. Inside this shop, in the heart of Barcelona, the distinctive cabinets displaying all its products stand out. A business that remains an emblem of the city today. Without a doubt, a classic that you should reserve a spot for on your route to pick up a unique souvenir.

One of the great classics
The ultramarino is a type of store that is part of the history of the last century and is considered a symbol throughout Spain. It was a type of establishment where you could find food products, especially those from other latitudes. In Barcelona, there is one that stands the test of time: the ultramarinos Múrria. Located in the heart of Eixample, it is an establishment that exudes flavor from its facade to its interior. It is the only one that boasts an original window that is now one of the city’s emblems. Without a doubt, it is an excellent stop if you want to buy succulent gourmet products. A gem on your shopping route through Barcelona.
Where: Carrer de Roger de Llúria, 85, 08009 Barcelona
