Portal del Col·lecionista

However bourgeois and proud of its past Girona may be, it doesn't have a huge number of old bookshops or antique dealers, except the odd noteworthy exception. El Portal del Col·leccionista is just one such exception. And it's truly exceptional. A small family business squeezed into an old house in the Jewish quarter, which opened its doors 40 years ago, it's the place to find items ranging from gossip magazines from the '20s to rare objects that are seriously sought after by bibliophiles.

Don't let the crowded space or your own embarrassment hold you back - you can browse at leisure through the old postcards, cinema posters, soda siphons, stickers and rare editions. It's a great way to spend a rainy afternoon, and a place where you'll always find the perfect gift for yourself or somebody else.
