The Flea Market is a monthly event where people sell second hand items. There, you can find clothing, accessories, CDs, books, household utensils, etc. at very affordable prices. You can even haggle! The market usually takes place in Blanquerna Square, just behind the Barcelona Maritime Museum, the perfect location to take advantage and walk around a beautiful area in the city.

Address: Plaça de Blanquerna

Fleadonia

The culture of vintage and second hand flea markets continues to grow in this financial crisis context, and the proposals are getting more and more interesting. That is why the Flea Market gang decided to create another monthly market called Fleadonia. This market also takes place in the Raval neighborhood, close to La Filmoteca de Catalunya.

Address: Plaça de Salvador Seguí

Lost&Found

This was one of the first flea and vintage clothing markets held in Barcelona. Born with a social and playful will, Lost&Found is available to any citizen who wants to put a stall there and sell what they have at home, as long as they pay a fee for their spot (the same applies to Fleadonia and the Flea Market). Exchange and bargaining is also permitted. Lost&Found is often full of the most fashionable and trendy youth in the city, so it’s a good place to go to if you are in need of some fashion inspiration.

Address: Francia Train Station
