"Located near Gaudí’s famed residential buildings, this late‑19th‑century market is known for its airy iron-and-glass structure and the 24/7 flower stalls that give it the popular nickname of the Flower Market. Inside, specialist stalls champion the Mediterranean diet: a boutique-style counter focuses on Les Garrigues olive oils (including a prized 100% Arbequina) and regional wines, while small bars keep local rituals alive by serving simple favourites such as pincho de tortilla and weekly specialities like a rich callos tripe stew. The market’s butcher and flower-heavy calendar (Christmas blooms and Saint George’s Day roses) make it a festive destination for both everyday shopping and seasonal splurges." - Mireia Font
