If you´re visitng Barcelona, and a bit of a flea market fan, then you have to go visit Encants, one of the oldest, and largest flea markets in Europe. It´s open on Mondays, Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays and is a great day to spend the morning, since you can come across all sorts of weird and wonderful things (a stuffed parrot, old dolls, clothing, religious icons, porn ...., you name it, it´s there!). Today I came back with a fabulous carved gilt frame, which I haggled down to 10€from an asking price of 30€. Previous excursions have yielded two rickety painted chairs (20€) and an old, painted metal basin on a stand (40€), which I´m in the process of sanding down and which has turned my thumb into one big blister!
For further information visit http://www.encantsbcn.com/. Unfortunately the official website is in Catalan only!
