66 Licences Issued for Autumn Vendors
The Barcelona City Council has granted 66 temporary licences for the installation of chestnut and sweet potato stalls across the city, effective as of Friday 30th October 2026. The move permits seasonal street vendors to sell traditional autumn products in designated spots throughout all ten districts. According to the municipal press service, the licences are part of an annual measure to support small-scale traders during the autumn festival period. Chestnuts and sweet potatoes, known locally as 'castanyes i moniatos', are a seasonal staple, especially around the feast of La Castanyera on 1st November.

Stalls will operate at 66 approved sites across all ten districts. Sant Martí has by far the most, with 22, followed by Nou Barris (9), Sarrià-Sant Gervasi (8) and Sants-Montjuïc (7). Eixample has just one, on Rambla de Catalunya. Every address below links to Google Maps.

What It Means for Residents
The chestnut season is a cultural highlight in Barcelona, marking the start of autumn festivities. Residents and visitors can now expect to find freshly roasted chestnuts and sweet potatoes at these locations, typically sold from portable braziers. The council does not specify an end date for the licences, but such stalls usually operate through early November. Vendors must comply with municipal regulations on noise, waste disposal, and public space use. More information on seasonal trading licences is available via the Barcelona City Council's official notice.
