The new commercial facility, featuring 37 establishments both indoors and outdoors, has been designed as a large open square under an architecturally significant roof, better integrating into the neighborhood's public space with transparent facades. This week marks the last commercial activity at the provisional market, which closed on November 14th.
The opening celebration will include neighborhood activities on Saturday, November 21st, in the morning, with children's games, a workshop with the Castellers de Gràcia, live music by The A Swing Band, and the children's activity Ecopagès.
The 14,350 square meter building includes a ground floor with commercial activity, mezzanines for offices and multipurpose rooms, and three basement levels for self-service, logistics, and parking. The commercial offering comprises 30 indoor stalls and 6 outdoor ones, ranging from fish and seafood to local produce and prepared foods.
The market also features two exhibition spaces as a posthumous tribute to local artist Amaia Arrazola, with elements from her restored mural and vinyls of original designs, connecting the artist's work with fresh, local products.
The comprehensive renovation of the market has involved a total investment of 38 million euros, including the construction of the new building, the provisional market, and the surrounding area's urban development.
