5 best hidden food markets to explore in Barcelona - SilverKris

"This restored late‑19th‑century market in the Gràcia neighbourhood blends elegant metal structures and exposed brick with Modernist floral ornamentation and was awarded for its refurbishment. Specialist food purveyors include a gourmet nut and spice stall famed for saffron, Marcona almonds and seasonal turrones, while an acclaimed fish shop/bar run by a former high‑end restaurant chef offers tapas and slow‑cooked casseroles — small plates such as baby squid with clams or tuna with walnut vinaigrette are highlights, and paella or lobster rice can be arranged with advance booking. Locals emphasise the personalised service and long‑term relationships between sellers and buyers that differentiate this market from supermarkets." - Mireia Font
