Other shops to discover
Barcelona corners hide shops dedicated to the art of play that are really worth discovering. Sarrià neighbourhood boasts establishments such as Aúpali (C. de la Tradició, 5), a store specialized in toys and materials aimed at early childhood, with a careful selection that encourages creativity and curiosity from a very young age. In this same neighborhood, there is also Captiva (Pg. de la Reina Elisenda de Montcada, 10), a historical store that transports children with its wide range of classic and contemporary toys, from LEGO figures to Scalextric models.

Founded in 1881, it is the oldest magic store in Europe and a true reference for both professionals and fans. Find all you need to learn and perfect tricks: from cards and rods to magic boxes and specialized material. It also has a theater-museum dedicated to the art of illusionism, where shows, workshops and exhibitions are organized that bring the public into a fascinating world.
These stores all share the same principle: the game is much more than entertainment. It is a tool to learn, grow and discover the world with curiosity and enthusiasm. Play is much more than just hanging out: it opens a door to imagination, learning and the infinite possibilities that childhood offers.
