We also do markets of all kinds, and particularly flea markets. Barcelona's big one, Els Encants, was a 15 minute walk from our apartment. It's in the Glories district, so we had to see the Torre Glories too, one of Barcelona's landmarks.

Approaching Encants, a purpose-built market structure; open-air
but interestingly covered |
 |
| Torre Glories over there |
 |
| Trying on shoes |
 |
You'll find a bit of everything here...memorabilia, infamabilia,
over-stocks, estate sales, collectibles, clothing, hardware...a bit
of everything |
 |
| Chainsaw district |
 |
Most interesting to me...the underside of the roofing is a mirroring
metallic...and so you get these fascinating pix... |
 |
Overwhelmed by it all, we repaired to the Westfield
shopping center for lunch/snacks...including the largest
Carrefours ever, so far...with check-out line to match...
and then lingered by the Torre Glories, one of Barcelona's
many landmarks |
 |
Not really all that tall, but colorful, and dominating the
skyline |
 |
Only a few hundred meters away, the Sagrada Familia...
we'll visit in a few days |
 |
| Returning...another view of the Encants and its mirroring |
 |
| On the upper level, many shops, mostly collectibles |
 |
| Quick! Someone tell Tom Hanks! |
 |
| Lugar increible! |
