Selection is varied - seafood, fruits and veggies, spices, and plenty of charcuterie meats. Even if you're not in the business of buying a whole goat head (which you can find in abundance here) it's well worth a visit to take in the sights and sounds while snacking on a charcuterie cone.

Let's face facts. There's no market in Barcelona that compares with the food porn extravaganza that…read moreis La Boqueria (review: https://yelp.to/tHXHo177jd). However, there are genuine contenders like Mercat de Sant Antoni housed in a beautiful, mid-19th-century octagon-shaped building (review: https://yelp.to/QfoN2pYfE_) and this one just rebuilt in 2005 with a kaleidoscopic roof designed as a ceramic wave. It's a more modern space inside with fresh seafood and produce stands alternating with spice purveyors and prepared food counters. All of it looked appetizing though there wasn't much seating on the premises. Through its various iterations in the atmospheric La Ribera neighborhood, the market has been here since 1848. On the southern side, there are remnants of a monastery that existed for seven centuries before that. RELATED - Exploring Barcelona?

We adore the variety where we each can find something we like and prices are reasonable. A container of freshly cut fruit, a cone of sliced prosciutto & cheese, calamari & chips. Or sit at one of the little cafes and eat right in the market. Buy candies, nuts, dried fruits, meats, poultry, fish, and it's open every day!

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.

There's also a supermarket around the corner for things you can't find in the market. Smaller market but local flair more than makes up for its size.
