What a cool concept! We stumbled upon this used bookstore with a random assortment or books. We…read moresearched for some English books and only found a few but I imagine the offerings change often. When we got to the counter, we were told that the books were priced "as we like." So basically, you find a book or movie or CD that you like and give the shop a donation. A great option for students or travelers looking for a hunt or distraction. I hope to be back soon!

Wish I had discovered this space sooner. Mecànic is a cafe/gallery/bookstore all in one, and thus…read morehas such a unique vibe. It is my new favourite place to work in Barcelona. If you get bored, you can flip through their collection of ultra-hip photo-books. You'll usually find me seated near the front with a café con leche and a small food item. I highly recommend trying one of their bagels - I love the one with salmon, avocado, and cream cheese. They also have some delicious vegan baked goods. The high ceilings of the garage/warehouse space makes the cafe seem very spacious. Wifi works great, and you can ask them for a power bar to charge your devices. The place is a little out of the way, so I don't think too many people come by (especially on weekdays). I appreciate the quiet atmosphere, and that it's a short walk from my apartment in Gràcia.

Very cool space. Great to sit and work for a while. I came in the winter, so it was a little cold,…read morebut I can imagine during the summer, this place would be an awesome hide-away from the heat. I really enjoyed sitting, chilling and getting some work done. Limited menu.

But we were looking for something more local that captured the chic and super creative vibes of this amazing city. We were so happy to have stumbled into this wonderful shop right off Las Ramblas. Think Muji (the Japense chain) with a classy, sassy edge. Beautiful watercolor prints of Barcelona landmarks, catchy, clever wordplay on canvas totes, pencil cases, coasters, cups and more. A must visit if you're looking for unique, affordable gifts to bring back home with local Barcelona flair.

What an awesome store! This is the walk-in version of Etsy (only cooler and more eclectic). My wife…read moreand I were wandering through the streets and alleys near La Ramblas and we're stoked to find it. We bought three small prints, a little fabric cactus and a shirt of the street grid of BCN. Cool music plays in the background while you shop. They have kids stuff, games and clothes. They have a bunch of home decor stuff as well. Won't regret stopping in!
