I am renting an apartment in Barcelona next week so figured I'd pick your collective brains for the best stalls to visit in the market. Also, any other markets I should visit would be welcome information.

I should add that I am on Carrer Valencia, near the Urgell Metro stop. Not sure what neighborhood that is.
Cheers! :cool:

There are many more informed people around here than me, but I think they'd all say that you should visit Laurenc Petras's mushroom stall in the back of the market and buy whatever he's selling. I wrote a bit about that experience here.

People have their favorites so I am sure that you might get a long list. However, for me, not eating at Pinotxo at least twice in a week is as close to sacrilege as I get.

Excellent point -- can't believe I left it off.
