hey guys,

We're traveling to Barcelona in a few weeks time and I wanted to know what the shopping is like there, and where do you suggest shopping around? thanks

Hi there,

If you are in Barcelona, you must visit one of the flea markets there. Barcelona has several open-air flea markets offering a variety of jewelry, books, curious and hand made arts and crafts.

Three of the most popular flea markets are the:

- Mercat de las Encants in the Plaza de las Glories Catalanes
- Mercat de San Antoni
- Mercat at Plaza Villa de Madrid.

Two tips I would give you when shopping in traditional markets it's to carry only cash, preferably coins, and to bargain, bargain!

hope this helps
