the sant antoni to-do list

Stroll down Carrer Parlament. This street is ground zero of the hipster movement, with new places opening constantly. You can't go wrong with the bars and restaurants on this street.

Moritz Brewery - One of Barcelona's two largest beer brands, Moritz reopened this old brewery a few years ago. The design alone is worth a visit (make sure you head downstairs to see the bathrooms).

The old El Mercat de Sant Antoni market was renovated in 2017 and looks better than ever. On Sunday mornings they block Calle Urgell with Calle Tamarit for an antique book market.
