Mercat de la Llibertat

Opened in 1888, the "Market of Liberty" was covered in 1893 by Francesc Berenguer i Mestres (1866–1914), Gaudí’s long-time assistant, in typically fizzy Modernista style, employing generous whirls of wrought iron. Despite a considerable facelift in 2009, it remains emblematic of Gràcia: full of life, laughter and fabulous fresh produce, and with irresistible tapas spots like El Tast de Joan Noi and La Clau.
