Taller de Marionetas Travi

La Rambla & Barri Gòtic


Going strong since 1977, this atmospheric shop revolves around beautifully handcrafted marionettes, many of them made by owner Teresa Travieso herself. Don Quixote, Sancho Panza and other iconic Spanish figures make an appearance, as do unusual works from other parts of the world – including rare Sicilian puppets and pieces from Myanmar (Burma), Indonesia and beyond.
