Markets
The outline of this jewel of functional modernista architecture protrudes above the rows of shops that line
Barcelona"s Carrer de Sants. It is well worth going inside to do some food shopping or just to let your senses carry you away.
Sarrià Market has become a modern, spacious showcase for food which reopened in 2007 after a complete refit. It still retains the original structure of the
market founded over 100 years ago which supplied the local community with food throughout the last century and continues to do so today.
In the central part of Gràcia, which was once home to a close-knit working-class community,
Barcelona"s Mercat de l"Abaceria opens the doors to a whole world of sensations and experiences. It is a pleasure to do some shopping here or just browse, as you listen to the characteristic cries of the stallholders which can tempt the most demanding shoppers.
This small but charming local market stands in the centre of the beautiful
porticoed square, the Plaça del Mercadal in the Sant Andreu district. Its origins, like so many other markets, can be traced back to the
middle of the 19th century, a period when hawking in Barcelona was regulated with the building of covered markets.
This archaeological site is located in the basement of the
Santa Caterina Market and seeks to provide an insight into the development of this area of the city from prehistoric times to the present day.
