These two buildings were designed simultaneously in 1908 and 1909, and are separated by a narrow street. The buildings have matching façades strongly influenced by Modernist and Art Nouveau styles. The famous Catalan architect Gaudí’s influence is also strongly evident in the parabolic window and doorway arches, as well as the undulating style of the building.

Reviewed By 114ruthw - London, United Kingdom

We never get bored of visiting this market! A typically Spanish with a selection of very fresh fish, meat, fruit and vegetable, and cheese stalls with the addition of some lovely places to eat pinchos, cheese, ham and enjoy some local wine. Sagla sells gorgeous artisan cheese and you can have cheese and ham plates and a glass of wine. Very helpful and knowledgeable young lady there when we visited, who talked us through the origin of many of the cheeses. Lovely atmosphere there too.
