Late September Barcelona opened the new headquarters of one of the most emblematic markets in town, Encants Vells market. I hadn't yet been able to visit but the other day because weekend (opening Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday) I finally had the opportunity to go and see a couple of stands I always visited in the previous location.

Although the architectural complex shaped by mirrored glasses designed by Fermin Vazquez from b720 architectural studio is spectacular, it's also true Encants Vells Market has lost part of its soul. There are far less space for that floor stands where you could find everything from books to furniture, curious gadgets, etc. and in the top floor there are a gastro area.

In short, a place to visit and appreciate the architectural beauty rather than go shopping, but you never know what are going to found there.
