A kicked-up farmers market with several rows of vendors selling produce, tapas, fish, cocktails,…read morecoffee, and specialty products. 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.

Most stalls sell fruit, veggies, fish and meat. There are not really any restaurants or food counters. Just one Tapas bar at the entrance, if you feel like grabbing some food. We didn't plan on cooking these days, if not, we would've shopped here. Prices are low and the products looked nice and fresh. If you want to have a look at a real local market, then this is for you.

I come here almost daily just to pick up ingredients for a fresh meal.

This is a splendid town market, housed in an impressive Modernista building…read more Although Terrassa had had a market since mediaeval times in the main square (now the Plaça Vella), the city council decided early in the 20th century that the town needed a purpose-built building. Begun in 1903, it was completed in 1908 on the hundredth anniversary of the start of the War of Independence, and named in its honour. The building is largely the work of the architect Antoni Pascual i Carretero, but he was replaced in 1906 by Melcior Vinyais i Muñoz. It is a good example of the Catalan version of Art Nouveau, called Modernism, and its light and airy interior structure is the oldest large modernist metal structure in the town. As well as the exterior of curving, rounded arch windows, the interior has some nice decorative touches, including an impressive 'bouquet' chandelier in the main entrance hall. The market is still thriving: its three wings contain a wide variety of butchers, bakers, green-grocers, grocers, dairy and delicatessen stalls, as well as a couple of cafes. There are lifts to the car park below.
