Mercat de Fira de Bellcaire 

One of Barcelona’s largest and best loved flea markets, this place is bizarre! All items are sold, old and new, and I mean all items, you get power tools next to antiques next to cosmetics. There is a lot of rubbish (and oddly a lot of “adult” videos and stuff) and some of the vendors just pour all their stuff onto a cloth in front of them so you have to sift through everything. However you do come across some gems, I found an amazing 1920´s turban style hat! Saturday is the busiest day so avoid it if you’re just a casual browser, and if you’re looking for real bargains arrive early. Antique auctions take place at 07:00, when all the commercial buyers are there, and again at 12:00 when all the unsold goods drop in price. The furniture in the big hall to the side of the market is incredible and worth a look in.

Bargaining is expected and fun! The market is meant to carry on until the afternoon but most stalls tend to pack up at midday. Also, a lot of the stalls close for August.
