　　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 and fabulous fresh produce, and with tapas spots like El Tast de Joan Noi.

Must-see attractions
Casa Batlló
Barcelona
　　An unmatched architectural treasure in a city defined by its otherworldly Modernista buildings, Unesco-listed Casa Batlló is undoubtedly one of Antoni Gaudí’s great jewels. 　　Created between 1904 and 1906 for the wealthy Batlló family, the once-private home on glamorous Passeig de Gràcia combines a shimmering tile-covered facade, bone-evoking stone columns,...
Palau Güell
Barcelona
　　Built off La Rambla in the late 1880s for Gaudí's wealthy patron the industrialist Eusebi Güell, the Palau Güell is a magnificent example of the early days of the architect's fevered architectural imagination. This extraordinary neo-Gothic mansion (one of few major buildings of that era raised in Ciutat Vella) gives...
Mercat de la Boqueria
Barcelona
　　With its banquet of fresh local produce, always-lively atmosphere, distinctive Modernista design and over 800 years of history on plane-tree-shaded La Rambla, Barcelona’s oldest market ranks among Spain’s most memorable experiences. 　　Around every corner, La Boqueria’s counters overflow with the freshest locally sourced ingredients, from pungent cheeses to salt-tanged seafood...
Gran Teatre del Liceu
Barcelona
　　If you can’t catch a night at the opera, you can still take in the awe-inspiring architectural riches of one of Europe’s greatest opera houses. Opened in 1847, the Liceu launched Catalan stars such as Josep (José) Carreras and Montserrat Caballé, and seats up to 2300 people in its grand...
La Rambla

Museu Picasso
Barcelona
　　Located along the grand, medieval street of Carrer de Montcada, the Museu Picasso is dedicated to one of the world’s greatest artists, Pablo Picasso. Born in the Andalusian city of Málaga in 1881, Picasso moved to Barcelona at age 14, where he spent his adolescence, youth and formative years with...
Casa Delfín
Barcelona
　　One of El Born's culinary delights, Casa Delfín is everything you dream about Catalan–Mediterranean cooking in a traditional-style. Lined with wine bottles inside, the service is spot-on and creative presentation lends a contemporary touch. Menus change depending on market produce, but might offer salt-strewn Padrón peppers, plump anchovies from L’Escala,...
La Pedrera
Barcelona
　　Sitting firmly in the top tier of Antoni Gaudí's many achievements, this madcap Unesco-listed Modernista masterpiece (officially called Casa Milà) was created in 1905–10 as a combined apartment and office block. 　　La Pedrera’s entirely unique use of light, space and movement remains just as astounding today as when Barcelona’s premier...
La Sagrada Família
Barcelona
　　The Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família (Expiatory Temple of the Holy Family) is considered to be the symbol of Barcelona by many residents, and the one place you shouldn’t miss when you visit the Catalan capital. 　　Initially intended to be a simple Roman Catholic church dedicated to Jesus, Mary and Joseph,...
