Lonely Planet review

Barcelona's most authentic flea market is 'The Old Charms', where bargain-hunters riffle through everything from battered old shoes and bric-a-brac to antique furniture and new clothes. A lot of it is junk, but it depends on what's fallen off the back of the trucks the day you turn up. Go in the morning for the best choice.

Also known as the Fira de Bellcaire (Bellcaire Fair), the Old Charms flea market is the biggest of its kind in Barcelona. The markets moved here in August 1928 from Avinguda Mistral, near Plaça d'Espanya. It's all here, from antique furniture through to second-hand clothes and old toys. A lot of the stuff is junk, but occasionally good things at preus de ganga (bargain-basement prices) come through - it depends on what falls off the back of the trucks.
