Best markets in Barcelona<\/h1>\n

The best markets in Barcelona<\/strong> are must-see places! Wherever you are in the city a market is nearby – just have a look to see different Spanish customs and how friendly these places are. You will\u00a0be very tempted to buy the local fresh produce\u00a0they have beautiful displayed on their stalls.<\/p>\n

\\\"Best<\/p>\n

Food markets:<\/h2>\n

~ The Unavoidable: Sant Joseph Market – La Boqueria<\/h3>\n

\\\"Best
\nWhere: Ciutat Vella
\nLas Ramblas, 91 08002 Barcelona<\/p>\n

When: From Mondays to Saturdays
\nOpening hours: 8:00 am to 8:30 pm<\/p>\n

Features: La Boqueria is the most famous market in\u00a0Barcelona because of its amazing location in the center of Las Ramblas! It\\’s one of the largest markets in Europe and offers high quality products, fresh fruit, vegetables, meat,\u00a0fish, sweets, etc. You can even eat tapas here! There is quite a lot of tourist traffic but it\\’s still a great\u00a0place\u00a0to visit.<\/p>\n

This market is a total mix of everything. As you get deeper into the market, you get wafts of people cooking fresh meats, pastas, and fish for the people on siesta or the tourists who happen to stumble upon the market. The vibrant colours\u00a0make you want to buy absolutely everything\u00a0because it all just looks so delicious!<\/p>\n

Traces of La Boqueria can be dated back as far as 1217, when local butchers set up stalls selling their meats. Since then, La Boqeria has grown into a Market of not just meats, but also fruits, fish, candies, vegetables, nuts, and much more. If you are thirsty or hungry you can find inexpensive fresh squeezed juices for as low as 1\u20ac and fresh pasta for as low as 3\u20ac … just be prepared to battle through the crows on the weekends for the privilege!<\/p>\n

~ The Authentic: Sant Antoni Market<\/h3>\n

\\\"Best<\/p>\n

Where: Eixample
\nCarrer Comte d\\’Urgell<\/p>\n

When: From Monday to Saturday<\/p>\n

Opening hours: From Monday to Thursday from 7:00 am to 2:30 pm and from\u00a07:00 pm to 8:30 pm
\nFriday and Saturday from 7:00 am to 8:30 pm<\/p>\n

Features: Sant Antoni is not completely outdoor, but this market is one of the largest food markets in Barcelona and when you are inside, it often feels as though it is an outside food market. There are parts of Sant Antoni that are outside, which is why I would put this on the list of\u00a0Best\u00a0markets in Barcelona<\/strong> that are a must see. Sant Antoni is more a place where locals can be found shopping around less of a touristic location. In the very center of Sant Antoni you will find a very popular tapas bar that many locals like to frequent on their siesta. Much like La Boqueria, the vibrant colors of all the fresh meats and fruits draws you in to buy much more than you had originally planned.<\/p>\n

On Sundays, around Market Sant Antoni, there\\’s a book market with\u00a0books, reviews, magazines, comics, postcards, etc from 8:00 am to\u00a03:00 pm .<\/p>\n

Features: Catalan producers meet each month to send their\u00a0organic catalan produce. This market is particularly famous\u00a0for its honey cake and its cheeses infused with honey hence its\u00a0nickname: The Honey Market.<\/p>\n

~ The Designer: Santa Caterina Market<\/h3>\n

\nAvenida Fransesc Cambo, 16 \u00a008003 Barcelona<\/p>\n

\netc., to vintage furniture like clothes or books, this market is\u00a0full of surprises.<\/p>\n

This is one of the largest flea markets in Barcelona and they have new and old things scattered in booths throughout the whole market. There are as well many everyday items that can be found at Encants for a cheaper price than in regular stores. Bargaining is a huge thing at Encants and if you don\\’t bargain you will most likely be ripped off. Bargaining can be fun, after all the goal is get as much as you can for the least amount of money, right?<\/p>\n

As at any flea market you do have to go through a bunch of trashy items in order to find treasures.<\/p>\n

Encants is very unique in many aspects, one being their public auctions. The public auctions attract many tourists and locals alike and is their largest attraction at Encants. Public auctions are every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday from 7:15- 20:30, excluding holidays.Advice: Saturday is really crowded and if you want to find that\u00a0special something come early!<\/p>\n
