Girona Lleona Exchange Market

Girona Lleona Exchange Market (Mercat d'intercanvi de la Lleona) sets up every Saturday from 9am to 2pm at Plaça de Sant Feliu and Carrer de Jaume Pons Martí, in central Girona. It is an exchange market for antiques, secondhand books and magazines, and jewellery, closer to a flea market than to a food market. Stalls trade in cash only, and the whole thing is outdoors.

What you'll find at Girona Lleona Exchange Market

The market deals in pre-owned and vintage goods rather than new stock. You'll find antique furniture, decorative objects and collectables alongside secondhand books and magazines covering everything from literature to local history. The jewellery stalls carry both vintage pieces and contemporary designs, so the tables are worth a slow look even if you arrive without anything particular in mind.
