In the area of the Rambla, very close, don't forget visit also PALAU (Pelayo)
it's the oldest and classical marklin shop in Barcelona.
Two good recommendations : GOTTHARD TRENS and PALAU
And enjoy of Barcelona !!!

Barcelona is a small heaven of train-shops!
My two favorites have already been mentioned; Gotthard and Palau. -But there are many others! (or were, as it is already 10 years ago I was sightseeing in Barcelona...)
Gotthard is a modern two-story shop. (I beleive that they are specialized in Märklin, but do carry other stuff too. Especially Bemo)
Palau is the old kind of shop; Incredibly messy, but you can find the most fantastic items there...
A good trick to find hobby-shops, is to buy a train-magazine at a news-stand and then look for the classifieds... (or just use Internet; but you need to know castellano and/or catalan)
PS: I´ve always thoght that Gotthard was rather far away from the Ramblas, but I´m happy to see Vilithejou says it is not far from the Sagrada Familia...
PPS: Most spanish people speak worse english than you, Anders! ;-) (running for cover) |

Hi Anders,
another good option is Rocafort Modelisme in Gran Via de les Corts Catalanes, 436.
In Palau and Gothard Trens have interesting section in marklin second hand too.
Have a good vacations!

We have had a great few days in Barcelona on our family vacation. I did manage to add in some train store visits. Palau was good but Gotthard was incredible. As I am in Spain, it was only appropriate to buy a Spanish train; the 7200 'Spanish Crocodile' from Electrotren. My first Spanish train and first Electrotren to date. I will post pictures on the the railway at some point. Ohh; and a Fleischmann E60 inexplicably jumped into the shopping bag.

I had one last visit to Barcelona on the way to the airport earlier this week. I managed to persuade my son to sit through a visit to Rocafort if I took him to a nearby toy store. Rocafort is also an excellent shop. It is great to see the retail market is so vibrant in Barcelona - three really great hobby shops in one city and I suspect there are many others. Fantastic!
