  • We visit barcelona only for 6 hours. Where can we go to see the best shops, not to expensive because we are tourist. Buy souvenirs for people back home. Leather handbags

    • Hi Cecily,
      It all depends on your budget. You can try a market for vintage handbags, or the Passeig de Gracia for luxury brands.
      If you don't have a lot of time, the department store Corte Ingles has many kinds of handbags. And in the same area you will also find other souvenirs.
