Shopping/markets
Mercat de Galvany serves the upscale Sarrià-Sant Gervasi neighborhood, and reviewers are quick to contrast it with the touristy markets in the city center, calling it a place where real locals shop without inflated prices. The surrounding streets, laid out as part of Barcelona's broader urban planning, add to the sense of an authentic residential pocket rather than a sightseeing stop. With a high local score and modest must-see score, it rewards visitors staying in the area or looking for a genuine, low-key market experience.

What people say
"Don’t go to the touristy markets in the center of town, if you wanna go to a real Spanish market come here! Not overpriced, just a place where real Spaniards shop. There’s a great selection of different things, definitely worth coming out here from the center of town during your trip."
