A kicked-up farmers market with several rows of vendors selling produce, tapas, fish, cocktails,…read morecoffee, and specialty products. The market's natural perimeter is dotted with sit-down cafes if you prefer to have table service. Organized, good variety, good atmosphere. It is rare when a market that sells a lot of fish, does not reek of fish from a block away, so it is a very clean market and we saw evidence of constant clean-up. Delicious and impressive spot to grab a few little bites to eat your way through the market, or to bring back with a bottle of wine for your hotel picnic when you're hungry but your tired tourist bod can't bear a full service din din.

I love this market! If you're visiting Barcelona, it's an absolute must! It's always buzzing and…read morepacked with people, but the food options are endless. From fresh seafood to fried ones, everything looks and tastes incredible. Some stalls even have seating, so you can sit down and enjoy on the spot. You're guaranteed to find something you'll love or at least something fun to try!

One of many farmer's type markets sprinkled around Barcelona (and in all Spanish cities), this one…read moreis in the Gracia neighborhood. All your grocery shopping can be done here daily, (bakery, fruit, veggies, meat, fish, charcuterie etc) although not all the stalls are always open except for the main shopping days, usually Saturday and Monday. Go early to get the best selections. It's not crowded so a pleasant experience, and reasonable prices.

This mercat is one of the reasons why living in Gracia is so amazing! Think of it as a…read moreneighborhood Boqueria but without the crowds and hoards of tourists. I come here almost daily just to pick up ingredients for a fresh meal. They have it all: fresh seafood stalls, meat butchers, jamon stalls, chicken stands, egg stands, cheese stalls, bacalao stalls, beans, fruits, and veggies... Prices are great and the fresh options you need will be endless! Come in the morning as not all the vendors re-open after siesta. Not alot of English is spoken here so come prepared with your google translation. LOL!

If you don't like crowds, this market is for you. A bit under the radar with more of a…read moreneighborhood and less touristy feel and not as busy as La Boqueria. I arrived shortly after opening (8 am) on a Saturday. As one of our Tour Guides mentioned, the wonderful aromas in a market as you pass the different stands full of fresh/seasonal products is unforgettable. This one has the usual suspects-butchers, fish mongers, olives, nuts, fruit, a stand that had only eggs (a few varieties), Jamon/Iberico Ham only stands and of course various restaurants. I had some breakfast and not breakfast food at Pinotxo Bar (Xuxos, Cafe con Leche, Beef Cheeks and Octopus Galician style. We picked up some croquettes (chorizo) and spinach and chorizo empanadas at another stand-delicious! We also got a jamon/cheese and Serrano ham/cheese croissants for lunch at another spot-also delicious! Overall, packs a big punch for a smaller market and definitely worth a visit.

While this market (or rather mercat) is not super popular compared to other spots, it's perfect if…read moreyou are the type of person who doesn't like to be around huge crowds. Since the vendors probably frequently change, I will not go into too many details. But the market has the typical components of a market - various meats, fish, ham (of course), small bites (tapas/pinchos), cheeses and wines. I thought the prices were decent (as a tourist). While this probably is not a popular tourist destination in Barcelona, I will hit the spot if you want a quick and easy market experience. Also, you can feel a bit more like a local because visited a market that's a bit off the beaten path (for tourists)

Ok, I've been coming here more regularly, and I'm getting used to the rhythm of the city, and how…read morethings work... While this will never be like my favorite farmers markets back in LA, it does offer stuff that you can't get in LA... so here's some of the good: Poultry vendors - I go to the ladies at Monica Avirum (sp?) - they're friendly, they know me by now, and they have good chicken. And if you want your chicken thighs/legs boned, they'll do it for you - it's included with the service. And they have Italian parsley for the asking - so if you're getting chicken carcasses for making a caldo - don't forge to ask for the parsley. And while i can't find all the fabulous greens that I love and miss so much - sometimes they can get things special ordered for you. I was trying to find pea shoots - but it's just not something people eat or sell or ask for here. And i was trying to describe it to this one produce vendor... he said he'd get it for me from Mercabarna for the following saturday. Well, he didn't have what i wanted. but he gave me a little container of pea blossoms for free. That was sweet of him. So while i'm still intimidated by this place, and i'm still wishing they had organic stuff - i'm not hating the market as much as i was when i first moved to Barcelona. The vendors for the most part are friendly and try to help figure out what i'm asking for as my spanish vocabulary is still limited.
