Barcelona and its 40 markets

When you are travelling to another country or city, you need to dive in its culinary culture if you want to truly discover that place. Savouring its traditions and discovering its smells is essential to find the unique tastes that have conditioned its people. Thus, the markets, taverns and most popular restaurants are a must visit place during a tourist route around the city.

In this case, we recommend you discover the truly essence of Barcelona visiting, at least, some of its 40 municipal markets full of colour, taste, smell and delicious gastronomic proposals proper of this innovative Mediterranean city.

Apart from the famous Sant Josep market (real name of the Boquería market) you will be amazed with the typical products of the market, like meats, fish, fresh vegetables, fashion of local designers, craftwork or the daily cultural activities that take place in different meeting points of the city.

All those interested may enjoy the different routes around the markets of Barcelona, among which we highlight the modernist route and the route around the historic markets. If you stay in a hotel in the Eixample of Barcelona, you will be really close to some of the most emblematic markets of the city, like the Conception Market or the already mentioned and famous La Boquería market, to which we have to add the Santa Caterina market in Ciutat Vella, really close to the cathedral. It stands out for being one of the last refurbished markets of the city. You can also visit in the surroundings the Barceloneta market, whose architecture and materials have made it one of the greatest municipal heritages of Barcelona.

If you have booked a hotel in the area of Las Glorias squares you will be near the Encants Vells market, an outdoor market where you can find furniture, clothes, antiques, books and toys. Besides, on Mondays, Wednesday, Fridays and Saturdays at 7 am different auctions are hold (the only auction of these characteristics in Europe).

Despite you stay in a hotel near Las Ramblas of Barcelona, it is worth walking further the old town and doing a route around the modernist markets: the Liberty market, in Gràcia; the Galvany and Sarrià markets, in the Sarrià districts; the Sants market, in the area of Montjuïc and the Sant Antoni market, in the Eixample. All the buildings have a great historic value for the city and its society.

These buildings, some of them refurbished and some of them being refurbished right now, offer all type of products and a wide range of workshops and activities.

A route around Madrid’s rooftop terraces.

It is an in style plan in Madrid. Either you live in the capital or you go on holidays or on a weekend trip you should not miss the new routes around Madrid’s rooftop terraces, which allow you to enjoy all the charms of Madrid’s terraced roofs, its skyscrapers and the beauty of some of the most emblematic buildings of the capital.

The fashion of the rooftop terraces, together with the fashion of the Gin Tonic and the Afterwork (having a drink after work but with a cool style) keeps growing year after year, and it has gained many followers. Others have simply fallen in love with photography: from these spaces, especially in the evening, you can enjoy fabulous views and light of Madrid.

Tourists and locals meet in these terraces of the sky of Madrid. The most famous route is the official route of the rooftop terraces of the Circle of Fine Arts, located on the seventh floor of one of the most important buildings of Madrid, declared historic monument 2 decades ago. The entrance ticket costs 2 euros and it gives you access to the exhibition and the conference rooms and to the cafeterias. It is a meeting point for having a drink before having dinner in the centre, located on Gran Via, near the petit Palace Alcalá Torre Hotel, near the Puerta de Alcalá and Cibeles.

Another of the in style terraces of the city is the Reina Sofia Museum’s one, located in the Nouvel building, in the Triangle of Art of Madrid, with free entrance. It stands out for being one of the largest rooftop terraces of the capital and for its eclectic atmosphere.

The UNED’s cafeteria is one of the most welcoming and modern rooftop terraces of the city. Located at the heart of Lavapiés neighbourhood, it offers a unique experience: it is located in the building of the Escuelas Pías and it offers access to its large library. The bar has an interesting list of proposals and it is managed by the Gaudeamus Café Madrid.

If you want to combine visits and a tapas route, we recommend you visit the Casa Granada terrace, in Tirso de Molina. Good atmosphere, typical Andalusian cuisine, beers and cocktails. Delicacies close at hand from Plaza Mayor square, close to some of the main hotels of the old Madrid. If you have the chance to find an accommodation in this area between Huertas and La Latina, you will be able to enjoy one of the best night leisure programmes of Madrid near the hotel. You cannot miss the lively terrace of Cebada square: under the name of El Viajero, it offers one of the most beautiful sunsets of Madrid.

Moving around Madrid.

Although the subway network is the most comfortable option, if you want to enjoy a route around the rooftop terraces of Madrid we recommend you rent a bike and visit the streets of the centre of the capital, admiring its buildings and monuments. In Madrid you can also enjoy bicycle routes specially designed for children, an entertaining, cheap and different plan.

There are many establishments that offer this service. Besides, Madrid’s city hall has inaugurated its system of public bikes (BiciMAD), which offers you the possibility to get a temporary pass for 1, 3 or 5 days with prices from 2€ the first hour to 4€ the second hour. Another option is to book a hotel in Madrid with a free bike rental. They have the advantage that they are included in the room’s price, although sometimes there might not be bikes for all users.
