Local and Specialty Shops

If you need a quick repair or smaller renovation, a good place to start with is your local bazaar, where you can get the basic tools, glue, screws, and even some bathroom and lighting fixtures. If you need a wider selection or some power tools you can go to the local hardware stores (ferreteria). For specialty items like lighting (luz) or flooring (pavimentos), you may find one near you as well. You can try a quick Google search, yet your best bet is to ask a local or look around your neighborhood.

Department Stores

If you’d like a variety of hardware supplies, lighting supplies, power tools, furniture, and more you can try either Carrefour or HiperCor. These department stores also have sections for bedding and products for your car. There are two large Carrefours in Barcelona, one by Glories and another by Fira. HiperCor is by Fabra I Puig.
