In the eighteen years I have lived here in Barcelona I have spent 1000's€ in Servei Estació: it's…read moreoverpriced, but it has everything; I've enjoyed buying my DIY stuff there. Today I took back a simple spanner that was about 3mm too small for the purpose I had purchased it for; I had a purchase receipt so I went to return it to change for a larger spanner. The 'reception' area on the left at entry point were very polite, told me to take it back to Planta 5 where I could change it.

Good selection of products helpful staff. Prices aren't low but seem fair.read more

There's probably over a thousand knives in the place, along with all sorts of other bits and bobbles that are "blade" related, including straight razors, kitchen tools, and hunting gear. Note to Americans: You can choose to pay either in Euros or USD via credit card (only Euros if you're paying cash), but I found my bank gives me a better rate in Euros.
