If a city’s markets are a fundamental way to get to know its culture and help us gain a deeper insight into daily life, then street markets are the perfect complement for that purpose. One of Barcelona’s charms lies precisely in the wide variety of street markets and fairs scattered across the city.
Some take place on specific days of the week on a regular basis, while others are held only occasionally, often to mark a special date or celebration, such as certain local festivals.
