SQUEE! El Calaix is…read morejust "da bomb" for finding sweet, unique clothing, adorable if not clever accessories and sewing and crafting supplies to take home and work into something fabulous. Seriously, after being assaulted by mass international clothing chains that now seem to dominate Barcelona, I seek refuge and inspiration here. At the back of this store there is a sewing machine and if you time your visit, you might see actual fabrication taking place. I bought a blouse last visit that I fell in love with, but didn't fit right- *bam* an alternation was offered and 30 minutes later.... I had the object of my affection! Great great clothes Great, if not eccentric accessories Wonderful crafting materials

I wished they would have had more of a showing where you could see many pieces by the same person. There is a really wide variety of art here, including many sizes and price points. It is also located in an interesting and artistic neighborhood.

I decided to check out local shopping on a lazy Saturday. I always wondered how I could make my…read moreeggy minis look similar to a well known business and I think I may now be close. I like that when I walked in I was not stalked like I had been in some other places. I was able to browse without feeling uncomfortable. When I looked perplexed about a product, Alicia came to my rescue. She offered to help as well as offered me coupons! Savings you say? Absolutely! I asked about the product I was curious about and she explained that while she had not used them personally, they were a popular purchase. We talked about some other items in the store as well and I was pleased at the customer service offered by her! She was comfortable assisting me in Spanish and English too! A great store to visit if you need home good items while in Barcelona.

Such unique gifts - lots of…read moretapas cookbooks im many different languages, gorgeous tins of local artisanal foods and ingredients, and some very cute and crafty wee bits! 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. Oh, and she gift-wraps too! :)

There were lots of people here, to be expected. The art is beautiful. It's nice to see all the different time frames. Some of the art we saw from the 1400s was very special. We feel so fortunate to not only have enjoyed the museum, but also the restaurant at the top with a view. Definitely a great way to spend the afternoon in Barcelona. Most of the rooms are air-conditioned and that helps too.

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. Different story when I got there; I have never been treated with such arrogance and deference: because I'd cut off the plastic tag (to use it for the intended purpose, note), I was given a very arrogant brush-off. Once bitten twice shy; I'll never shop there again: my advice is to buy online where it's cheaper and you don't get insulted and treated like sh*t!

Kind of like an Ace Hardware and a Target had a baby but nixed clothing and food. They make keys, they have paint, they have seasonal items, and it is well staffed and centrally located. You will not find everything here, and that's ok. I am known to make my way to each level via escalator then elevator to the basement where there's all the plumbing and outdoor goodness.
