★ 4.4 (38,712)$ · Budget-friendly

Mercat de Sant Antoni combines a full food market — fish, meat, produce, and prepared goods — with a separate section of clothing and general merchandise stalls, making it a genuine one-stop shop for the surrounding Eixample neighborhood. It draws far more local shoppers than tourists relative to its size, reflected in a strong local score, while still earning a very high 4.4 rating across nearly 39,000 reviews. It suits visitors curious about how residents actually shop day to day rather than those looking for a curated tourist market experience.

What people say

"This is an amazing markets where the locals go. It has both the clothes section as well as the section with food and products. It has a very good selection of fresh fish, a pretty descent selection of fresh meat (including less common parts like tongue and so on), a nice selection of Jamon and other cured meats (a few stalls with a wide variety), and really good stalls with vegetables and fruit. Whether you are looking for products for cooking or just something to accompany your wine, this is a great place to go. Also a great place to shop for Jamon specifically as the selection and the prices may be better than in specific jamonerias."
