The best shops for collectors in Barcelona
Leisure 05/11/2025
In the heart of Barcelona, a universe opens up for collectors: rare vinyl records, cult comics, vintage design pieces… If during your stay in the city you are looking for something different from conventional leisure activities, we suggest these must-sees for lovers of rare or unique pieces.
For music lovers: vinyl records and CDs with history
The first stop is REVOLVER RECORDS (C/ dels Tallers 11, Raval).
This independent record store, open since 1999, has become a true landmark for vinyl in Barcelona. Its mission is to "bring you the best record collection in physical format," including rare secondhand records. In an atmosphere of overflowing shelves, band posters, and catchy tunes, you can immerse yourself in specialized sections dedicated to jazz, soul, punk, progressive rock, and more. It's ideal for collectors who value not just the physical object, but the experience.
For fans of comics and illustration
The second stop takes us to the world of comics and manga: NORMA CÓMICS (Passeig de Sant Joan 9, Eixample).
Spanning over 700 square meters, this store is a veritable cathedral of European, American, and Japanese comics, managed by Norma Editorial. Its aisles are filled with new releases, special editions, exclusive merchandise, and collectible figures. Spend a good amount of time there, as it's easy to get lost among the shelves, discover that rare comic, and then grab a coffee in the neighborhood afterward.
Just a short distance away, CONTINUARÀ CÓMICS offers a more intimate and personal experience. It's the perfect place for those looking for limited editions, vintage comics, or hard-to-find collectibles. Their team always has personalized recommendations for every type of reader.
In the Born district, STICK NO BILLS (Carrer de Sant Jacint 8) is a unique gallery dedicated to graphic art and limited-edition travel posters. Its space evokes old travel agencies, with walls covered in posters inspired by iconic destinations. Here you can find everything from postcards costing just a few euros to numbered pieces that become true collector's items.

It is the oldest antiques market in Europe, combining second-hand stalls, collectibles and contemporary design.
Barcelona is best enjoyed at a leisurely pace. These shops are scattered throughout vibrant neighborhoods, so take the opportunity to stroll around, discover a hidden café, or stop at a small local restaurant.
It takes time, curiosity, and, just in case, some extra space in your suitcase. You never know what treasure you might find.
