Facts and practical information

The Encantes de Barcelona or the Bellcaire Fair, is a street market that meets in different spaces of the city of Barcelona for more than seven centuries.

The "Fira de Bellcaire" has its beginnings in the union of several markets, each with different products for sale. The Encantes is the result of the fusion between the Fira de Bellcaire and the Fira dels Encants during the nineteenth century. It can be compared to other European markets such as the Waterlooplein in Amsterdam, Portobello in London, the Porta Portese market in Rome, or the Rastro in Madrid.
