• Parrot and fish weathervanes sit on top of the domes, easiest to spot from the square outside before you go in
• A dozen ready-to-eat stalls inside, handy for a mid-morning snack between aisles of fruit and fish
• La Llotja across the square, the old silk exchange with its twisted stone columns, makes an easy second stop

A covered market from 1928, built of iron, glass and painted tile, with about 260 stalls of fruit, vegetables, fish, meat and bread. The central dome rises 30 meters, and weathervanes shaped like a parrot and a fish crown the domes.

Kids can point out unfamiliar fruit, watch the fishmongers at work and pick a snack from one of the dozen stalls selling ready-to-eat food.
