Els Encants is a flea market located in Barcelona, Spain. It was originally located in Placa de Les Glòries in 1928 but was moved in 1992 when the placa became a traffic junction. In 2008, the Barcelona city council guaranteed the market would be part of a new development at Les Glòries. Construction began in 2010 and was completed in 2013, resulting in a 35,400 square meter market built on an 8,000 square meter site at a cost of 5 million euros.
