It’s said that the most commonly purchased souvenir in Barcelona is a Mexican sombrero. Avoid any cultural faux-pas by buying one of these thoughtful souvenirs and taking home something worth remembering.

While an edible souvenir may not be the longest lasting, it does mean you get to enjoy a taste of your holiday when you’re back home. At the Boquería market you’ll find a choice of food items which are easy to transport and will last at least a few months. Jamón Iberico slices in vacuum-packs won’t go off for months if not years, also tinned-seafood such as mejillones en escabeche (mussels in a spicy sauce) or boquerones (white anchovies).

2. The Camp Nou stadium

The perfect gift for any sports fan, a genuine FC Barcelona shirt can be purchased from the Camp Nou stadium gift store alongside other branded memorabilia including Barça footballs, bags, towels and other accessories. While there is a shop by the Sagrada Família, the best way to shop for FC Barcelona goods is to take the Camp Nou Experience – including a tour of the stadium and a visit to the museum – and make the occasion even more memorable.
