Looking for some cool and unique holiday gifts for your friends and family this year? Don’t miss out on the third edition of Fantàstic Handmade Market this month taking place in the beautiful central hall of the historic Universitat de Barcelona.
Nearly sixty local artists and creators that sell their wares on Etsy, the online marketplace of handmade goods, will be showcasing their fashion, jewelry, photography, illustration, fashion for kids, home decoration items and more. Keep an eye out for colorful bags by Irema, wooden furniture by Miülas and fantastic-smelling, artisanal soaps by Sabonaire.
Be careful, it may be hard not to buy any treats for yourself. But in any event, shop freely knowing that your euros go to support the local craft community.
