Mercat de la Concepció

For a great idea for a walk in the Eixample district, between the Sagrada Família and Barcelona city centre. Stop by the Mercat de la Concepció, which is only a 15-minute walk from Gaudi's masterpiece. 

 

Mercat de la Concepció in Barcelona: A Flower and food market

The Mercat de la Concepcio is known as a flower market in Barcelona. For gardeners and those with a green thumb there are many varieties of flowers and seeds for your garden.

But it is also a food market with fruits, vegetables, fish and seafood, meat, cold cuts... An ideal place to do your shopping in a much more local atmosphere than the famous Boqueria market, which is much visited by tourists.

 

The Mercat de la Concepció in Barcelona was built by the Catalan architect Antoni Rovira i Trias. Construction of the market began in 1888 and was completed in 1889. Rovira i Trias was a renowned architect of the Catalan modernist era and designed several iconic buildings in Barcelona, including the Mercat de Sant Antoni and the Mercat del Born. The Mercat de la Concepció is located in the Eixample district and is one of the most popular markets in the city, offering a variety of fresh and local products.

 

The Mercat de la Concepció in Barcelona was renovated between 2002 and 2005 to modernise the market's facilities and preserve its historical character. The renovation work improved the infrastructure, functionality and aesthetics of the market while preserving its original architecture.

Covered market. Very pleasant with the smell of flowers at the entrance. There are tables and chairs in the aisles so you can eat there. Coffee and potato tortillas available.

@Dan
Hello Dan! Yes, the T-casual ticket (which allows 10 journeys) is NOT a multi-person ticket. It is valid for one person only, meaning it cannot be shared between two travelers. Each person would need their own T-casual ticket. If you want a multi-person option, you should go for the T-usual (unlimited travel for 30 days, personal) or the T-grup (70 journeys for multiple users). Let me know if you need more details!

@John
Hello John, Yes, you can board the Aerobus A2 at Plaça Universitat before it reaches Plaça Catalunya to head to the airport. The Aerobus service (line A2) is specifically designed to connect the city center with Barcelona-El Prat Airport (Terminal 1 and Terminal 2) efficiently. At Plaça Universitat, there is a designated Aerobus stop, so you can get on the bus there. Just make sure you are at the correct stop for the A2 line if you're heading to Terminal 2. If you’d like to check the route, schedule, and ticket information, you can visit this same page for Aerobus tickets. Let me know if you need more help planning your trip!

Hello alan, The closest Aerobús stop to Barcelona’s cruise port is Plaça Espanya. From there: Take the green metro line (L3) toward "Zona Universitària" and get off at Drassanes (two stops). Walk about 15 minutes to the World Trade Center (WTC). At the WTC, you’ll find a shuttle called the Cruise Bus that runs directly to the cruise terminals. The cost is approximately €4.50 round-trip. Best,

  2. Telèfono de contacto - Gerente de la Asssociació de Comerciants (1 Nov 2012 - 08:30)

    El telèfono de contacto que aparece en la información de esta página no es correcto, pues se trata del teléfono de la Associació de Comercians y en el no es posible hacer encargos de flores. Para ello, pueden llamar a Flors Mari-Rosse Magallon, tel. 93 458 75 67 o Flores Navarro, tel. 934 57 40 99. Ambas empresas estan situadas en el recinto del Mercat de La Concepció y abren las 24 del día.
