Llibreria Sendak

Llibreria Sendak is a specialist children's bookshop on Carrer de Còrsega in the Gràcia neighborhood, named after Wild Things author Maurice Sendak. The selection is carefully curated — this isn't a shop that stocks whatever sells; it's one that stocks what's genuinely worth reading.

For families who travel with book-loving kids, this is the kind of shop you hope to stumble across but rarely do. The Spanish, Catalan, and English sections give international families real options, and the staff recommendations are trustworthy.

Gràcia is one of the nicest neighborhoods in Barcelona for a family afternoon — independent shops, pleasant squares, and less tourist density than the center. Sendak fits naturally into a Gràcia exploration day alongside Plaça de la Virreina or Mercat de l'Abaceria.

Closed Sundays (standard for independent shops in this neighborhood). Saturday hours may vary — check their social media or call ahead.
