Local Life
Market secrets
Locals get their eggs at the
Mercat de Santa Caterina
, where, in season,
stand holders 'flavour' their eggs by stacking them up and placing truffles among them.
Soft-boiled, they are divine.
Catching the rays
Local favourite strip Passeig del Born is perfect for lazy Sunday
morning sunbathing on the cafe terraces, as you enjoy a leisurely brunch.
A slice of culture
Join the largely local clientele for a weekend lunchtime classical con-
cert at the
Palau de la Música Catalana
and take advantage of the natural daylight to see
the beautiful interior of the main auditorium.
Barcelona style
Join the beautiful
barcelonins
and shop in some of the city's best fashion
boutiques.
