Sant Antoni flea-market Barcelona (by Sonja Pöhlmann)

Sant Antoni is in one of Barcelona’s very Catalan (= very boring) neighborhoods. Nothing is happening over there, the streets are clean and the inhabitants are close to marriage – or pension.

But once a week, the neighborhood is waking up: Sant Antoni’s flea market calls people from all over town. All ages and nationalities come to have a look at a variety of books, DVDs, computer games, old magazines, posters…

Maybe you are collecting Claudia Schiffers first Vogue-covers, or you are just interested in how to construct of a WW 1 missile- this is your place.

Combine your snooping for old treasures with a visit of Barcelona’s goldies:

Els tres Tombs (Ronda San Antoni 11), a tapas bar located on one of Barcelona’s most noisy street corners, invites you for a drink and some delicious and typical Spanish snacks. Talking? impossible. This place is for watching and observing – one of the Barcelona’s best terraces to just shut up and gawk.

  1. Hello,
    I went to “Els Tres Tombs” and I really don’t liked it…
    The cheese was old with green spots and the vermuth not very tastefull !
    Near the Sant Antoni market there’s another place: the bar Ramon. They have no terrace but the tapas are really tastfull!

  2. Barcelona has sone excellent markets and Sant Antoni is excellent for bargains. This is a metro ride but great if you want a non touristy market.

  3. I don’t like the “very catalan = very boring” connotation. Maybe you should investigate a bit more before making such judgements, because for me both Sant Antoni and all the catalans that I know are very lively and interesting.

  4. and maybe you should also comment that the market will be closed for some years due to re-construction works
