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.

Visiting this market is one of the best ways to experience Barcelona's food culture. Just off La…read moreRambla, this historic market is filled with colorful stalls selling fresh fruit, seafood, cured meats, cheeses, pastries, spices, chocolates, and local specialties. The atmosphere is lively and the energetic. We really enjoyed wandering through the market and sampling different foods while watching the local vendors at work. There are also several small restaurants and counter-style eateries where you can enjoy freshly prepared seafood, tapas, and traditional Catalan dishes. If you want a quieter experience, it's worth arriving earlier in the day before the crowds build up.

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?
