Barcelona is a vibrant cosmopolitan city, renowned for its eclectic and exciting markets. Whether you're on the hunt for retro furniture, vintage fashion or handmade artisan goods, the city has something special waiting for you. If you're looking for unique finds to take home, keep reading. We've rounded up some of the best outdoor, food, second-hand, art, vintage and craft markets across Barcelona. And to make the most of your stay, don’t forget to check out our modern Apartments in Barcelona, perfectly located in the heart of the city and ideal for exploring everything it has to offer.
Palo Alto Market is a vibrant event created by a group of young professionals from Fundación Palo Alto, a creative hub located in a former factory in the Poblenou district. Thanks to their vision, we can now enjoy this unique street market that blends cutting-edge design, gourmet food, live music and workshops. It usually takes place on the first weekend of each month, offering a dynamic mix of culture and creativity. Access to the beautiful garden space costs just a few euros, giving you the chance to immerse yourself in Barcelona’s design scene and sample a wide variety of street food in a truly special setting. It’s the perfect weekend plan to find unique clothing, accessories and home decor, while tasting flavours from around the world at the many food trucks.
One of the most charming and historic markets in Barcelona and one of our favourites is the Sant Antoni Sunday Market (or Dominical de Sant Antoni). If you're a fan of second-hand books, comics, postcards or vintage newspapers, this is the place for you. Held every Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., the market is a paradise for collectors and anyone who loves browsing old and rare finds.
After several years of renovation, the market reopened with a fresh, more elegant look and quickly became a Sunday favourite for both locals and visitors. While you're there, don't miss the indoor section, where you'll find fresh fruit, quality fish and meat, as well as local clothing, jewellery and much more.
Our next recommendation is a relatively new addition to Barcelona’s second-hand market scene. Lost & Found is known for its focus on vintage fashion and accessories, although you can also find books, home décor, old vinyl records and plenty more. It may only take place twice a year, but it is still one of the largest second-hand markets in the city.
Depending on the edition, the event is held either outdoors at Moll de la Fusta near Barceloneta or indoors at Estació de França. More than just a market, Lost & Found is a creative space where both locals and visitors come together to browse, exchange and enjoy the experience.
We couldn’t finish this list without mentioning Els Encants, one of the oldest flea markets in Europe, with origins dating back to the 14th century. It is a great example of Barcelona’s commercial spirit and remains one of the city's most iconic market spaces. Els Encants is best known for its wide selection of decorative objects and furniture, along with a few stalls offering clothing and other curiosities.
In 2008, the City of Barcelona commissioned a striking new roof structure to modernise the market while preserving its open-air atmosphere. Designed by architect Fermín Vázquez, the result is one of the most eye-catching examples of contemporary architecture in the city. Today, the market spans more than 15,000 square metres and is home to over 500 vendors. You’ll also find food stands and even an underground car park, making it easy and enjoyable to spend a full morning or afternoon exploring.
