What people say

hortus quaerens
"Tucked away in the charming El Born district of Barcelona, Mercat de Santa Caterina is a hidden gem that beckons with its authentic Catalan charm. A delightful departure from the more tourist-heavy markets, this market offers a genuine taste of local life. The atmosphere here is more relaxed compared to some of the larger markets. The vibrant colors of its undulating, mosaic-tiled roof set the stage for a leisurely stroll through its aisles. Locals gather here to shop for their daily provisions, creating an inviting and genuine ambiance."
"THE MARKET. Way less touristy than "La boqueria" for the moment. The secret is to find the longest queue of old ladies, they know where the best produce is. Ideal both to eat here and to grocery shop, but also to find tasty souvenirs."

"You’ve probably heard of the Boqueria Market before coming. And while you should go, the place gets packed! For more of a local experience you can check out the Santa Caterina market. Make sure to eat at Bar Joan in the back. "
