Ｌｅｏ DW8RDecember 1, 2014Maybe not as famous as La Boqueria, but this market is beautiful from the outside (check the roof) and very pleasant inside. Worth a visit!Upvoted Feb 17- Oh-Barcelona.comNovember 3, 2011Barcelona’s newest market - recently renovated in 2005, the market has transformed from traditional to a contemporary and modern hub for locals and tourists alike to find delicious Spanish produce.
Libby GarrettMarch 18, 2012A fantastic market with a mellower, more local feel than the Boquería. Closed Sundays. Open at 7:30am all other days, closing at 2pm on Mon, 3:30pm on Tue, Wed and Sat, and 8:30pm on Thu and Fri.Upvoted 1 day ago
Lucille FisherJune 16, 2022I prefer this market than the more touristy one (I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.) it’s real people market with all the goodies, no hype & real people prices.
Everytime you enter with a camera to take pictures in the market a kitten dies! Please be respectul, this market (obviusly) is for buying food, don't bother locals standing and taking photos.- Jiri VizekMarch 16, 2017Great market try santa Catarina restaurant, great see food vine and tapas. Grilled calamari with asparagus highly recommended
Mary GiuffridaFebruary 16, 2018Fantastic market. Don’t miss the opportunity to have lunch at La Torna. Delicious and reasonably priced with friendly service.

Annette SandnerJanuary 11, 2016Great market with tapas bar inside. Perfect place for authentic lunch.
This market is awesome!!! A lot of awesome produce. I got like 4 different kinds of tomatoes for my salat!!
Jono HaysomApril 7, 2015If you're staying in El Born come to the markets for produce. It's open from 8am daily
Sophia KhavroninaMay 31, 2014Not as touristy as La Boqueria, but also less picturesque. You can have a great variety of local products including seafood, meat, oil, and etc.
Жанна СеменоваMarch 9, 2016Buy your week storage of food here, and forget about supermarkets. Could be a bit touristy, like everything in BCN
Vicki KolovouMarch 4, 2017Beautiful market as most in Barcelona, it has the advantage in being in a great location.
mafaldaqMarch 5, 2014I was a little bit disappointed by the market since I was expecting it to be more like La Boqueria. If it is closed just stroll around to take a few photos of the building and head off to La Boqueria!- Luis NievesOctober 10, 2014Spanish food at its best. Try the paella but don't leave without tasting the fideua. Desserts are delicious too.
Quite in the back is "torrent" where all fruits and veggies are just a bit better. You can try before buy.
Miquel FeliuAugust 22, 2014Great! Fresh products, lovely people. One of the nicestes places in town!
ArnoudDJune 12, 2012Great market with delicious food, from fruits to olives, to cheese and the best spanisch jambon
- John JampiMarch 31, 2018A fantastic market with Santa Catarina restaurant on the corner. More local feel than the other markets.
- Apartment BarcelonaNovember 13, 2014A great place to visit if you’re looking for a more relaxed atmosphere than the likes of La Boqueria. Read more

Filip GrigárekMarch 17, 2016Nice, clean market. Not to much crowded as la boqueria, but same sortiment
Karisa NichollsJuly 17, 2013Definitely do your grocery shopping here if you've rented a holiday apartment. So much variety.
SizzleMelSeptember 19, 2012I prefer this market than Boqueria. Smaller, less tourists. A couple eateries full of locals. Slows down around 1 pm.
Piotr KNovember 10, 2015Good food does not come from frozen batches. If you like fastfood then this is your place. But really staff at McD is less miserable than here
Darryn van der WaltJuly 24, 2013Great market for stocking up your kitchen. Not so much for takeaway, pre-made food.
Cris Ruiz estruchMarch 30, 2013Just wonderful... Vinc massa sovint ... Els xuringuitos daqui per tapeo genials
