    hi

    love your blog!

    speaking of shopping, have you come across any BCN equivalent of what we in n. america would call a "dollar store" or "99¢" store?

    i'm going to be in BCN in april and would love to find such a place

    thanks again for your very enjoyable writing

    thanks so much! it's great to get some feedback.

    there is a place like a 99 cents store, I believe two of them actually, though the exact locations i don't remember. one of them was located in born near the market (walk towards ciutdella from the front of the cathedral, you'll hit a market with a wavy, colorful roof, take a right there) somewhere, and it was actually an "everything-one-euro" type store. there was also another one somewhere near portaferrissa off las ramblas. it was bigger, but i don't know if it was all one euro.

    depending on what you're looking for, you might also want to look at some of the little chinese-run markets around. there was a good one called coses de casa on guillem tell near metro fontana. they're everywhere, and have a good variety of things for very cheap, from toilet paper to american-style halloween costumes and fake christmas trees.

    let me know if you want any more recommendations for your trip, and have fun!
