"A traditionally scheduled market situated a short walk from Gaudí’s basilica, reflecting the neighborhood’s mid-20th-century growth with a market building dating from the 1990s and roughly sixty stalls. It’s a go-to for hearty, home-style Catalan breakfasts at a counter that serves surf-and-turf meatballs with cuttlefish and stewed tripe with chickpeas, plus a modest but decent wine and olive selection for grazing shoppers. The market’s rhythm — including a midday closure — preserves a more traditional, local shopping experience." - Chris Ciolli
