Barcelona’s Markets - Bargains galore!

Tuesday, March 20th, 2007

Hi everyone! 

Yesterday I discovered something very exciting - there are plans to turn the bull ring outside my house into a massive flea market!!!  Great news all round! I can’t say I’ll be sorry to see the bull-ring go and I’ll have Barcelona’s best flea market on my doorstep!!! 

For those of you who also like a good bargain, Barcelona is a great place to be!  The city has a number of really good markets, selling anything from furniture, antiques and craftwork to fruit and vegetables!  The majority are situated outdoors so you can spend a day in the sun whilst you browse.  The atmosphere is also really fun- a whirl of people bustling around in search of that vintage bag or an old record.  Many people also go just for a nice day out with no intention of buying anything…rarely do they go home empty-handed though!
