Hi guys,
Im wondering if there is any flea market in Barcelona or any farmers market during Sunday.
Also, i was planning on a day trip to the Montserrat monastery on the 6th, but could not find the information if it will be open or not. I know it's 3 kings day holiday, but not sure what will be closed during the festivity.
Thank you so much!
Hi
Some info here - http://www.barcelona-tourist-guide.com/en/shopping/barcelona-market.html
There's a flea market between the torre Agbar and the sagrada familia but i don't know if it's open on sundays/sorry for that.
the flea market 'Els Encants' at Glories does not open on Sundays (open on Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday from 7:00 to 18:00, but most activity during the morning)
There is a very interesting farmer's market in Plaça del Pi on the first Friday and Saturday of every month.
Montserrat never shuts down. The most interesting part (for me) are the landscapes and hiking possibilities.... that obviously depend on the weather, not the calendar date. Be prepared for cold weather! The museum opens on festive dates. Regarding the church of course it will be open and there will be probably extra services due the celebration of the Epiphany.
There used to be a flea market for books and music at Mercat Sant Antoni on Sunday mornings. It is probably still going on. It is on Ronda Sant Antoni, not far from Plaza Universitat.
One of the things that impressed me most in Barcelona is the dancing fountain in Espana square, they are simple fountains during all day, but around 7 pm music plays all around the square and the water starts 'dancing' creating colours and emotions.The show does not happen every day, just on friday and saturday since 7 pm to 9 pm.
Just as Modernisme - the movement that has made Barcelona unique - emerged at the end of the 19th century as a desire for change and renovation, so today the city is celebrating its past. Rather than suffer a post-Olympic slump, it is restoring its old buildings, introducing new art and architecture and eradicating some severe urban problems, while staying at the forefront of contemporary culture.
It's well known that the Spanish people do not have their dinner till about 9.30-10.00pm (sometimes even at 11.00pm!), but don't worry, most restaurants in Barcelona will serve food to you even if you get there early (like 8.00pm!)! Alternatively, there's always McDonald's or Burger King's!
This isn't too far off the beaten path, but a little. If you're in the Gothic Quarter, you'll likely visit the famous Cathedral. As well you should, it's a beautiful church inside and out. There is no fee to enter but they do ask that you dress and act appropriately. Services are still carried out here so keep that in mind while inside.
My tip is something that I stumbled on while walking around inside the church on my last visit. There's a not-so-obvious elevator, off to the left side - that sends you up to the rooftop for a 2 Euro 'donation'. Given it's location right in the heart of Barcelona, it's not a bad deal. It seemed to me that this wasn't something everyone was aware of, unlike say, the lift to the top of Notre Dame in Paris. The rooftop here was fairly empty, at least on the day I visited. And as for the view itself, well, it isn't Montjuic but it ain't bad.
I HAVE TRAVELLED ALL OVER SPAIN FROM THE NORTH LIKE BARCELONA TO THE SOUTH WHICH IS COSTA DEL SOL, I LIKE BARCELONA THE SHOPS ARE PACKED WITH WONDERFUL GIFTS AND SOUVENIRS WHILE I WAS THERE FOR 2 WEEKS I BOUGHT MYSELF A FLAMENCO DRESS IT WAS BEAUTIFUL, NOT VERY EXPENSIVE WELL DESIGNED AND MADE FIRST CLASS,YOU PUT IT ON AND IT TRANSFORM YOU,THE ONLY FAULT I FOUND WITH THIS ELEGANT DRESS WAS IT HAD SO MANY FRILLS ON THE BOTTOM AND ON THE CUFFS I FOUND IT HARD TO IRON, THE CITY WAS FULL OF GREAT NIGHTCLUBS TO VISIT TO WATCH THE EXPERTS DOING THE FLAMENCO, AND THE GYPSY MUSIC WAS OUT OF THIS WORLD. I ALSO FOUND THAT SPANISH CRUSINE IS FABULOUS. PAY A VISIT YOU WILL LOVE IT. MICHAEL SCHUMACHER LOVES PLAYING FOOTBALL IN SPAIN AND ALL OVER THE WORLD SPECIAL GIFTS IN BARCELONA ARE THE TRADITIONAL DOLLS,THE CHAMPAGNE, ANDTHE POSTCARDS, LEARN TO SPEAK THE LANGUAGE BEFORE YOU GO,THEN YOU WILL FEEL MORE AT HOME LIKE THE LOCALS. I CANT SAY WHAT IT COSTS TO GO TO SPAIN NOW I WENT IN 1972 AND THINGS HAVE CHANGED,THERE COFFEE IS DARK AND STRONG LIKE THE FRENCH.
