Best second hand markets in the city

Riera Baixa

There are many second hand shops in the city, especially on the street Riera Baixa in Raval. You will get to it if you walk the street "Carrer del Hospital" from La Rambla. On Saturdays, the shops put out clothes on the street and the atmosphere becomes amazing. People socialize and shop at the same time.
There are a few other shops in both Gracia and Gothico but they are more spread out and not as close as on Riera Baixa.

Markets are more my kind of second-hand shopping. Here are my top ones:

Flea market

This is a market that takes place once a month if not more often. They sell everything from secondhand clothing (cool vintage stuff and just somebody’s plain, gently used tees) to books to jewelry to videos to random household electronics. It is centrally located by the Metro Drassanes.

 Lost and Found

Lost & Found is a bit trendier than Flea market and the prices are a little higher. The venue is a really nice train station "Estacio Franca" by Cuitadella Park and the district Born. The market is very big and you will find mostly clothes but a couple of weeks ago I bought a pair of skis. For dates see their website: http://lostfoundmarket.com/

On the Garage

One of my favorites is On the Garage(bogatell) which is cheaper and you can find both clothes and stuff. I bought a very nice dress that I use a lot for only 5 euro and it was handmade by the girl who sold it! The venue is an old factory building. They sell food and drinks. The only disadvantage is that i'ts indoor, not nice in the summer! Metro: Bogatell

Encants

Encants is a flea market where you can find everything from paintings to toys and clothes. There are also small shops that offers handmade things. Most of the items sold on Encants are rubbish but if you are patient you can really find gold. Bargain! You should never pay more than half of the price, but usually you can bargain even more! Open every two days. Metro: Glories.
