Mercat de Santa Caterina
I started coming here when I got tired of Boqueria's tourist stampede. The mosaic roof — 325,000 ceramic hexagons — is world-class architecture that almost nobody visits for itself.
Enric Miralles's mosaic-roofed neighborhood market. Better produce, better atmosphere, and a fraction of Boqueria's crowds. This is where I actually shop.
