Mercat Gótic, Barcelona's Favorite Treasure Hunt

Every Thursday in front of the Cathedral of Barcelona, the Plaça de la Seu fills up with stalls selling all types of antiques and secondhand curiosities from coins, ceramics, dolls, keys, and scales to vintage newspapers, magazines and comics. Reborn 34 years ago on the site of an ancient traditional market of the city, 

The Mercat Gotic is a place to steep yourself in fascinating history as you browse the tables full of time-worn artifacts. It’s a great way to begin a day of excursion through the Gothic Quarter of Barcelona’s medieval center—several museums of interest are close by, including the Diocesan Museum and a small restaurant dedicated to all things Dalí.

Isn' it a nice way to spend your Thursday morning?
