Barcelona: Open Air Markets? - 02/16/05 08:20 PM

I'm going to Spain for the first time in March. I was wondering if anybody had any suggestions as to any open air markets in Barcelona similar to Portabello Road or Camden? I'm looking mostly for vintage clothing and such.

THANKS!

The biggest flea market in Barcelona is Fira de Bellcaire, but everybody knows it as Els Encants (in Catalan) or Los Encantes (in Spanish). It is held every Mon, Wed, Fri and Sat in Plaza Glories. You can reach it by Metro, Glories or Encants stops.
