Bulevard dels Antiquaris, Barcelona

Be sure to keep an eye out for the staircase that leads you up one floor to discover the hidden treasure trove of a 73-store antiques arcade located off Gr脿cia Avenue ("Passeig de Gr脿cia"). Within its walls, you'll encounter a fascinating array of authentic antiques, ranging from dolls, icons, and paintings to Roman or Visigothic artifacts, Asian antique furniture, African art, cricket kits, fly rods, and vintage toys. Each item comes with a certificate of origin and a written guarantee, ensuring their authenticity. While haggling is a common practice, be prepared for a challenge when negotiating with the resilient Catalan antiques dealers.

Tip:
Notable among the shops is ACANTO ANTIG脺EDADES, a major clearinghouse for buying and selling a wide range of items from paintings, furniture, silver, sculpture, and bronzes to wood carvings, marble, clocks, watches, tapestries, porcelain, and ceramics.
