The Santa Caterina Market is a must-visit for any food lover. The market offers an impressive array of fresh produce, meats, seafood, and prepared foods. The modern design of the building makes for an inviting atmosphere and provides a great shopping experience. One of the highlights of the market is the variety of fresh seafood available. The selection of oysters, mussels, and shrimp is particularly impressive. The prepared food section is also a standout, offering a range of dishes from traditional Spanish tapas to more modern fusion cuisine. The prices are higher than some other markets in Barcelona, but the quality of the food justifies the cost. The market is also conveniently located near many of the city's major tourist attractions, making it a great spot to grab a quick bite or stock up on ingredients for a home-cooked meal. Overall, this is a great place for anyone looking for high-quality ingredients and new flavors.

162. Fruites torrent selectes Apple mango-1ea-6.18€ Peach-2ea-4.25€ Yellow tomato-2ea-2.69€ Mini tomate-7ea-3.04€ Cerry-21ea-8.12€ Actually this market is one of the expected place in barcelona, because of here is the traditional market and example of architecture renovation. But I really disappointed 162. Fruites torrent selectes's price and information center. First of all, they don't show the price but foolishly, I trust them because here is traditional market... it's my big mistake. I choose some fruits and request the bill but he said total price is 24.28€! I thought it is really expansive but maybe it is because of apple mango. But After show the bill the cheapest fruit is apple mango. The detail of the price is like below. Apple mango-1ea-6.18€ Peach-2ea-4.25€ Yellow tomato-2ea-2.69€ Mini tomate-7ea-3.04€ Cerry-21ea-8.12€ After check the bill, I requested refund because it's too expansive and unreasonable. But they said CANNOT REFUND. So I told the information desk and they said they can not help us and I have to solve with the market. I really recommend you that if you have plan to go this market, please check the price on the board in front of every fruits, Do not buy at the no-price tag market. Please be careful and keep the beautiful memory!

坐在圣卡特琳娜市场（Mercat de Santa Caterina）门口那繁忙的城市街头，品尝西班牙的海鲜、小食、吉事果，来一杯桑格利亚或是苦艾酒，享受着慵懒的午后阳光，好像才比较西班牙。 菜市场无疑是极具烟火气的，可如西班牙那般重视通过市场塑造城市形象的国家却并不多。 在佛朗哥独裁时代，西班牙甚至一度计划将菜市场作为城市规划的工具，而如今，它们已经成为在西班牙城市旅游手册中必不可少的、让游客能够真实体验当地生活的城市标签。 西班牙很多城市都拥有干净整洁、精致鲜活、有着各自风格、体现人们生活饮食习惯的菜市场。如果来到巴塞罗那这座建筑之城，除了造访怪诞精巧的高迪作品，被誉为“高迪之后”的现代建筑师设计的圣卡特琳娜菜市场，也是个不错的去处。 二战后，在欧洲其他经济较发达国家采取了更现代化的商业模式，逐渐侵蚀公共市场体系的时候，西班牙的公共市场体系反而不断扩大。到19世纪末，巴塞罗那建立了一个较为完整的公共市场体系，并在某种程度上成为社区社交中心和工人阶级社区的重要食品零售中心。覆顶市场在密集城区中的出现，解决了原来人们在广场上和街道上形成集市，拥堵交通、威胁公共卫生等问题。 1：修道院菜市场。 巴塞罗那最早的覆顶市场——圣卡特琳娜市场，和另一个兰布拉斯大道上的著名市场——波盖利亚市场，都位于老城区范围内。在当时，为了将占据城市两个中心区域的活动转移到街道之外，缓解交通拥堵，都选择了将城市中原来修道院的旧址作为基础。波盖利亚老市场被安置在兰布拉斯大道附近的圣何塞市场，适合周边那些已经成为资产阶级甚至是贵族的居住者。而新的圣卡特琳娜市场位于一个更偏向工人阶级的社区，就在巴塞罗那主教堂旁。它参考巴黎的圣日耳曼市场建造，建筑平面为回廊形，立面为新古典主义式样。 圣卡特琳娜市场所处位置在历史上曾有过多次变化。在公元4世纪，罗马人占领了伊比利亚半岛，在此留下了一个罗马墓葬群。到了11世纪，圣萨尔瓦多修道院在此地建起。一个世纪后，修道院由于阿莫尔拉维德人的占领而被荒废。13世纪时当地人回归天主教，建立了一个小修道院与一个教堂中殿。为了适应城市增加的人口，修道院被扩大，使其能够容纳社区百人会议的席位。 不幸的是，1835年，修道院受到袭击和焚烧。宗教建筑的所有痕迹一夜间从世上抹去，沦为一片废墟。直到巴塞罗那政府决定在旧址上建造一个广场和一个市场。这个市场，就是圣卡特琳娜。 这是巴塞罗那市的无意识改革和塞尔达计划一同发挥的结果。塞尔达被称为巴塞罗那城市规划之父，他雄心勃勃的“塞尔达计划”开始于1859年，它颇有争议地放弃沿用老城的城市肌理，确定了新区充满理性的网格状结构，不分优劣的每个街区都是一样的八角形，建筑物分布在街区两侧，中间区域作为绿地和公共区域，每个街区都配有教堂、学校、公园、广场等公共设施。 在塞尔达眼中，这才是适合未来城市和现代生活的城市形式。可众多质疑者认为，这一规划使得历史都被深埋于地下，旧城区的身份认同遭到了破坏，不论是当地人还是新人都在遗忘。 2:涂满色彩后重生 1997年4月，曾经的菜市场已经破旧不堪，政府启动了圣卡特琳娜市场改造项目的公开招标，上世纪末国际上最负盛名的加泰罗尼亚建筑师团队、被誉为“高迪之后”的当地事务所EMBT赢得了竞标。 新市场原计划于2001年1月开放，但在建造的过程中，教堂和修道院的考古遗迹重见天日，如何将遗址纳入到新的菜场当中，如何让人们体会到这里的多重历史，成为建筑师也要解决的问题。在解决了重重困难之后，市场最终于2005年5月重新开放。 旧菜场外墙得到保留，新古典主义的表皮和现代主义的屋顶形成鲜明对比，来强调旧的存在。用32.5万块釉面陶瓷制成、共有67种不同颜色的波浪状飞扬屋顶帮圣卡特琳娜市场构成游客们对巴塞罗那的深刻记忆。这个由钢、混凝土、木材和陶瓷制成的新屋顶，由似乎从泥土中生长而出的树状柱撑起，部分架在保留的旧屋架上，漂浮在庄严的原始表皮之上，成为建筑最大的特色，用高调的语言，向来旁边巴塞罗那主教堂巡礼的人们宣示自己的存在。 屋顶的缤纷颜色来自于摊位上的水果蔬菜，这些颜色犹如一片富足的海洋，也象征着热情洋溢的巴塞罗那。设计师设想市场是一个装满蔬果的篮子，因此后加的窗也像极了运送货品的木箱，人们在篮子内部穿梭，完成日常社交和购物。 这个市场也是整个区域内改造计划的一部分，它带来的游客和机遇激活了主教堂前的一整条街。市场并不只是城市名片，也在某种程度上解决了区域内的城市问题。市场内部进行了全面翻新，减少了摊位的数量，在对菜场规模进行估算后，将原有的方形地块割出一块，建造了养老公寓。公寓和菜场夹出了一个广场，成为热闹的社区活动场地。在地下建造了用于废物收集、仓库和货物装卸的区域和额外的停车区域，让菜场背面原本脏乱拥挤的运货区域有所释放。 3:复杂时间的证物 在市场的地面上，流动的线条仿佛是受到干扰的磁力线，是力场作用下的线条。实际上，摊位之间的流线安排与原来场地上人的流向有关，人们已经这样穿行了好多年——“对话早已存在，你不能把它打断”。这也是“时间在这块土地上浓缩凝结的证物”，层叠在历史之上，形成了不同于其他菜场的流动复杂的平面。人们从社区、从毕加索博物馆、从北侧广场上来，流入养老住宅和市场中间围合的小广场，穿越菜场，再流向西面八方。 在加泰罗尼亚语里，菜场其实也有广场的意思，这个市场也希望能够成为社区性的广场空间。尽管它位于一个生活品质较低的区域，充斥着混乱、消极、不安全，城市问题同样亟待解决，但另一面却紧邻着城市中最重要的建筑物——主教堂。所以，它充满了碎片感和复杂性，从北到南，从主教堂街到社区广场，菜场也完成了从城市菜场到社区菜场的身份转换，正面庄重而热烈，前面挤满了享受阳光的游客，背面复杂多样，承载往来嬉闹的日常生活。 在南侧外墙上，老年公寓后，设计师将从旧市场上拆除的和从地下挖掘出来的建筑构件，仿照城市中无处不在的涂鸦，将圣卡特琳娜市场的名字，镶嵌在了这面墙上，任人想象它的过去。 在最靠近广场的区域，也是罗马墓葬的主要分布点，遗迹从割裂的楼板下显露出来，形成一个小的博物馆，讲述着这片区域的历史。新屋顶的檐口远远地在遗迹上伸展出去，微微下垂，和为保护遗址的地面细微起伏形成了一个在博物馆和广场之间的窗口，作为外望的延伸。窗外的人成了历史的背景，内部的平静昏暗又让人从喧闹的市井生活中脱离出来，踏入历史的长河。 比起巴塞罗那另一个更著名的菜市场波盖利亚来说，这里更加当地化一些，价格更合理一些，也不那么拥挤。它也像西班牙的其他菜市场，有超市、面包店和一些小餐厅来补充基本需求。游客们可以在这里购买到日常的奶酪、火腿、橄榄、海鲜、葡萄酒和农产品。在市场周边的小店，还可以淘到手工制作的饰品。 坐在圣卡特琳娜市场门口那繁忙的城市街头，品尝西班牙的海鲜、小食、吉事果，来一杯桑格利亚或是苦艾酒，享受着慵懒的午后阳光，好像才比较西班牙。

Worst place in Barcelona. Full of scammers. Or maybe not full, but just a meat stall?? We bought some iberico ham (€4.59 per 100g) in a pre packed packet of 110g and paid €6.00… I thought it’s a bit too expensive, but checked too late… Another scam at the same counter: selling meat cones staffed with plastic with a few little pieces of meat covering this plastic. I was shocked and my child was very disappointed. Not sure if they treat locals the same as tourists, but I would never come back for sure. Stay away from the Iberico meat counter (not sure the exact name of the stall) OR check everything properly before paying these scammers. Better go to La Boqueria for way better experience.

For a place to camp out in a rainstorm, this place was awesome and they serve food well into the afternoon, which isn't the case everywhere in Spain. It's a beautiful space, cozy with friendly staff and a very creative menu. I got adventurous and decide to try the VEGAN carbonara...although I wouldn't call it carbonara (how can you top real eggs, cream, and bacon??), it was delicious! Made from zucchini and squash noodles with a wonderful umami sauce, the flavor was great and it was very satisfying and comforting, how carbonara is supposed to be. A glass of wine, and an oat milk café con leche afterwards to top it off. Highly recommend if you're in the area.
