Mercat del Ninot

L'Eixample


A gleaming, modern neighbourhood market, on the site of a 19th-century open-air predecessor, the Mercat del Ninot sells mostly meat and fish and also has a couple of cafe-bars where you can grab a tortilla sandwich or seafood tapa. It reopened in 2015 after a five-year makeover.
