Sant Antoni Breaks

Part of the Eixample district, Sant Antoni is one of Barcelona’s trendiest and most vibrant neighbourhoods, known for its local charm, excellent food scene, and relaxed atmosphere. Located just west of El Raval, it offers a mix of historic architecture and modern urban life, loved by hipsters and locals alike.

At the heart of the neighbourhood you’ll find the famous Mercat de Sant Antoni, a stunning 19th-century recently renovated wrought-iron market, where locals shop for fresh produce, meats, and gourmet treats. On Sundays, it transforms into a bustling second-hand book and collectibles market, so you’re bound to find some bargains.

Sant Antoni is also known to be a hotspot for foodies, featuring some of Barcelona’s best tapas bars, brunch spots, and specialty coffee shops. Carrer del Parlament is lined with trendy cafés, bakeries, and cocktail bars, making it a go-to street for a casual day out. The neighbourhood is also well-connected, within walking distance of Plaça d’Espanya, Montjuïc, and Las Ramblas, yet it retains a more local, authentic feel away from the hordes of tourists.
