Food
La Boqueria
In Ciutat Vella. Large public market with a diverse range of goods and produce. Enjoy freshly squeezed organic fruit juices for €1.5 per cup. Closed Sundays.
Cacao Sampaka
(http://www.cacaosampaka.com) c/. consell de cent, 292, xocoa or the chocolate factory are a must for chocolate lovers. there's also a chocolate museum in carrer comerç, 36. the museum is rather lousy: it consists of just one room next to a cafe. different sculptures made of chocolate build the core of the exposition. do not expect much information about recipes or different chocolate types. this part of the exposition is really rudimentary and provides at most 3-4 text paragraphs.
Happy Pills
A petite candy store located next to the Cathedral Square noted for resembling a pharmacy and packaging their product in plastic medication bottles or first aid kits.
Souvenirs
Wawas Barcelona
A truly new and innovative souvenir shop featuring its own line of postcards, magnets, mugs and trays, all of which being of artistic images of a Barcelona we see every day but hardly ever stop to look at. Also offers chocolate bars by Xocoa, one of the most renowned chocolatiers in Barcelona, wrapped in a photo of the city. Wawas sells guidebooks, and has a selection of products and gifts designed, made, and marketed by the best designers and creators in Barcelona. A must-see for visitors and locals alike.
Art Montfalcon
Probably the largest souvenir shop in the city at 1000 sq. m. Almost no ordinary souvenir-shop trivialities; really good choice of creative and artistic souvenirs: watches, plates, jewellery, mugs. Creative mechanical toys: spiders etc. The only missing thing is Kukuxumusu, but there is a choice of other souvenir t-shirt brands.
El Ingenio
There is a lovely shop in Carrer Bisbe selling crafts including miniature versions of the dracs dragons and gigants giants that feature in Catalan processions and fiestas. El Ingenio, in Carrer Raurich, sells the real ones and is worth a visit just to look - you can also buy confetti, jokes, rubber snakes and other amusements.
Stamps
Are actually sold in 'tabacs' or tobacconists. once you know what they look like, you'll notice them on every block or so. to post your mail, you need to find one of the yellow letter box located rather infrequently along the sidewalks.
Places to avoid:
Barri Gotic
The souvenir shopping scattered throughout the Barri Gotic the old city and all along La Rambla are tourist traps, none of them sell Catalan or Spanish products but the typical array of Chinese general souvenirs, they should be avoided.
