The only street that maintains the union name in the Raval, popularly known as Chinatown, is the one that concerns us: Calle dels Tallers. Its route begins in the Ronda de Sant Antoni, near what was the Humanities Campus of the University of Barcelona, and reaches the Rambla on a route parallel to Pelayo street.
It is a street full of shops, before it was the street of the iron and wood workshops, now there are alternative shops, such as the piercing shop, the tattoo shop, there is a store for old records, second-hand clothes, shoes trendy, and some very old businesses that hopefully have not closed with the modernization of the neighborhood.

Without a doubt, Flamingo Vintage Kilo is one of the most famous and largest stores of this genre in Barcelona. Its name refers to the fact that clothes are sold by weight and not by garment, so that, depending on the type of garment, the price per kilo will be more or less high. At Flamingo Vintage Kilo you can find clothing, shoes and accessories with a predominantly North American style.
