About
El Món de la Joguina is a neighborhood gem tucked into the elegant Eixample district of Barcelona, just off Carrer de Mallorca. Unlike the big-box toy chains, this independent shop curates a thoughtful selection of wooden toys, creative building sets, board games, puzzles, and imaginative play items that parents and kids both appreciate.
Shopping here feels like stepping into a different era of toy retail — no blaring screens, no battery-powered chaos, just quality toys that spark real play. The staff are knowledgeable and happy to help you find the right gift for a specific age. Kids tend to wander wide-eyed through the aisles, and parents find themselves pleasantly surprised by the range of educational yet fun options.
Because this is a traditional Catalan shop, it observes siesta hours — closed roughly from 1:30pm to 5pm on weekdays. Plan your visit for a morning browse or an after-school/post-siesta afternoon. The shop is easy to access via Metro, and it makes a wonderful addition to any family itinerary in the Eixample neighborhood, especially on a rainy Barcelona afternoon.
