Vintage doesn't appear to be huge in Barcelona, but there are an increasing number of stores opening and, with the city being by the sea, it's a great place to pick up some vintage swimwear. WGSN dropped in to a few of the stores, including the recently opened large Holala store and gallery space where we noticed some great printed swimsuits and holiday shop items for inspiration.

Handmade

If you're looking for local handmade artisan product, look no further than La Manual Alpargatera for inspired holiday shop coordinates. Espadrilles and woven accessories are in abundance in this store and, having opened in the 1940s, it is an essential experience when visiting Barcelona with beachwear and holidays in mind.
