About
This Abacus Cooperativa branch on Carrer de Còrsega in the Eixample is the books, stationery, and toy-focused format of Spain's largest educational and cultural cooperative. The selection is broad — children's books in Spanish and Catalan, educational games, toys, and school supplies across a well-organized store.
For visiting families, the Còrsega location is conveniently situated in the upper Eixample near the Gràcia border — an area with an excellent neighborhood atmosphere and good food options. It's particularly useful if you're looking for Spanish or Catalan language books for kids as authentic souvenirs.
The cooperative pricing means fair value across the board — no inflated tourist pricing. The board game and educational toy section is consistently well-stocked and offers quality options for kids across all ages.
A reliable stop if you need to resupply art materials, pick up a book for the plane home, or find a last-minute gift.
