I’m looking for a thrift clothing shop in Barcelona?

In North America, these types of stores sells clothes for under $10. They have names like Value Village, Salvation Army, Goodwill. Usually, poorer people shop there but in this case, I need new traveling clothes.

What’s the Catalan/Spanish equivalent in Barcelona?

Thanks

Its probably called something like

Wing Wah

ie its the local Chinese bazar which used to be called the 100pts shop or Todo Todo. But they have been driven out of business by the Chinks who seem to open 25 hours a day and 8 days a week.

Dont get me wrong - they have some great bargains and supply our office cheaper than the discount office suppliers - the guy that runs ours is a great laugh.

Me (British) speaking Spanish (after a fashion) to him (Chinese) in Spain - global economy or what?!

The whole Spanish manufacturing industry is under threat - when I came to Spain everything on the local street markets wasmade in Spain - now? you guessed it…............pity they cant get our sizes right!
