How to Get a Stall at the Global Street Market
Would you like to set up a stall at the Global Street Market market, located at Barcelona? To sell as a street vendor, you need a municipal street vending permit or license: this is issued by the town council, not the market itself, and typically requires that you be registered as a self-employed individual or a business, be in good standing with the tax authorities and Social Security, and have liability insurance that covers the stall.
Global Street Market is held on Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The exact fee is set by the Barcelona town council; please check it before submitting your application.
Applications are submitted to the town council, usually online or in person, and may be granted directly (if there are open stalls) or through a public call for stall applications with a waiting list when demand exceeds the number of available stalls. You can download the municipal ordinance on street vending from Barcelona (check the town council’s official website to make sure it’s still in effect, in case it has been updated).
Contact the Commerce or Markets Department of the town council of Barcelona to find out the exact procedure.
