Encants Vells – Barcelona’s Flea Market
Disorganized, smelly, filled with people, when visiting the Encants Vells flea market, (Old Charms), patience is a must. The market is held every Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday, just off the Glorias round-about. It’s best to go during the week and very early, around 9:00 in the morning. Saturday is chaotic. Preparation is a must, bring coins, as bartering is allowed. There’s no point in bartering down a price and then handing over a 20 euro note. The sellers are pretty tolerant with taking photos, but precaution must be taken with cameras, bags, purses and other belongings. The best option is stuff everything in pockets.
