Looking for the perfect souvenirs from Barcelona? We’ve got plenty of ideas.<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

If you’re like us, you’ve probably waited until the last minute to hunt down souvenirs from Barcelona for your friends and family back home. You’ve possibly also managed to pick up several Sagrada Familia magnets just in case! However, you’ll need to get a little more creative than\u00a0fridge decor for some. Read on for inspiration, and more importantly, where to find those typical souvenirs from Barcelona.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

\"When<\/a><\/figure>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Vermouth<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Nothing says Barcelona like a chilled glass of sweet red vermouth<\/a> before lunch. It’s a sacred tradition that, when tested for the first time, usually converts. One of the first vermouths made here in Catalonia is vermouth Perucci.\u00a0You can find this at any bodega or wine shop around the city. Although we personally love Bodega Maestrazgo<\/a>\u00a0(Sant Pere Mes Baix, 90<\/em>) in the Born. Of course, you could also go for something a little more modern with a design-lovers bottle from the famous Casa Mariol<\/a>\u00a0(Carrer Rosselo, 442<\/em>).<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turron<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Turron may be a Christmas<\/a> sweet, but that doesn’t mean you can’t buy it year round. The traditional nougat bar comes in a variety of flavors and textures. All of which you can find in the beautiful shop of Torrons Vicens<\/a> (Carrer Consell de Cent, 308)\u00a0<\/em>in the Eixample district. We also love Pastisseria Brunells<\/a>\u00a0in the Born (Carrer de Princesa, 22)\u00a0<\/em>who make not only turron but a whole range of delicious Catalan pastries!<\/div>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Conserves<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Conserved goods are highly prized in Barcelona. Often you will find that fresh seafood, for example, is cheaper than its canned counterpart. That’s because there is a serious art that goes into conserving anything from razor clams to artichokes. One of the most typical souvenirs from Barcelona comes not from the city but rather the northern coast\u2014the Costa Brava\u2014is anchovies. Grab a jar of the famous l’Escala anchovies<\/a> at any grocery store you pass.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Extra Virgin Olive Oil<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Did you know that\u00a0Spain is the world’s biggest producer of extra virgin olive oil<\/a>? It’s the\u00a0perfect souvenir for that foodie friend.\u00a0Head to\u00a0Oli Sal<\/a>\u00a0(Travessera de Gracia, 170)<\/em>\u00a0in Gracia<\/a> for\u00a0the best selection of liquid gold\u00a0and other\u00a0culinary treats\u00a0in Barcelona. Furthermore, visit it with us for a mini master class and tasting on a Gracia Neighborhood Food & Market Tour!<\/a><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Espardenyes<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

It’s said that espardenyes<\/em>, the popular canvas and jute rope shoes originating in the Pyrenees mountains. They also date back to the 14th century! During spring, summer, and fall, you will see locals sporting them all over Barcelona. Simple, comfortable and unisex, get a pair for everyone you know! Buy them at the oldest shop in the Gothic Quarter, Manuela Apalagatera<\/a> (Carrer Avinyo, 7).<\/em><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Leather Goods<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Leather bags, shoes, wallets\u2014there’s a reason Bob Dylan sang about Spanish leather. There are plenty of places to find the perfect leather souvenirs in Barcelona, but let us suggest supporting a local workshop and going to Alexis Fasoli<\/a> (Carrer a la Volta dels Tamborets, 4)\u00a0<\/i>in the Born, where each piece is handmade and one of a kind.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Barca Jersey<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

This one may seem obvious, but for those who are not in tune with the soccer fever in Spain, the Barcelona Football Club’s<\/a> colors are emblematic around here. Grab a Messi jersey at\u00a0literally any souvenir shop in town.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Modernist Tile Book<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

The tiles that decorate Barcelona’s streets and typical modernist buildings are greatly admired by locals and visitors alike. Find neat coffee table books that display them at all the museum gift shops. You could also try ordering online at Amazon<\/a>.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Picasso Poster<\/strong><\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Picasso came to Barcelona at the ripe age of 14 to study at the School of Fine Arts. One of his most famous paintings,\u00a0Las Se\u00f1oritas de Avignon<\/em>, is just one piece of work that was directly inspired by the streets, or in this case, one street, of Barcelona. Furthermore, find this print and many others at the Picasso Museum<\/a>\u00a0(Carrer Montcada)<\/em>\u00a0in the Born.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

You’ve experienced the magic of Barcelona’s culture and cuisine during your time here\u2014now it’s time to share the love. Get your next Barcelona-bound friend a Devour Tours gift certificate<\/a> and help them create their own foodie memories here in the Catalan capital.
