Markets in El Poble-sec
Although Poble Sec shares the Mercat de Sant Antoni with the neighboring district, locals also head to the historic Modernista Sant Antoni market for their weekly shop and to its famous Sunday book and collectibles fair.
Mercat de Sant Antoni
Food market and Sunday book fair
The work of architect Antoni Rovira i Trias, its cruciform plan and iron dome make it one of the most impressive Modernista markets. Renovated between 2007 and 2018, it recovered its original splendor. The Sunday book and collectibles fair under the porticoes has been a tradition since 1936.
The Sunday book fair under the porticoes is the busiest spot. For food shopping, Saturday morning is the best time.
