Highlights of the Market dels Encants in Barcelona
The biggest highlight of the Market dels Encants in Barcelona is without a doubt the antique auctions that are held three times a week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Here you can get good deals on rare antiquities from furniture to jewellery and others.
Another highlight is the big furniture hall, which is in a large area off to the side, and where you can find everything from antiques that are hundreds of years old to art deco to 1970s and beyond. The entire market is a place to find great deals on things you don't see every day.

Good to know about the Market dels Encants in Barcelona
The Market dels Encants in Barcelona is open four days a week; the public auction is held from 8 am to 9.30 pm Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Come early to get the biggest selection, but to get the best prices, show up after noon, when auction items see their prices lowered.
While the market is technically open all day and into the evening, many of the vendors tend to close up shop by midday, so it's a good idea to pop in early if you want to see all there is to see.
