Sant Antoni
Sant Antoni grew up around its huge iron-and-glass market, beautifully restored in 2018. It has become one of the city's most exciting places to eat and drink, with old-school vermouth bars side by side with new restaurants, and car-free "superilla" streets that are full of people at weekends.
