Mercabarna Central Fruit and Vegetable Market - Pavilion B
Pavilion B is one of the trading halls within Mercabarna's wholesale fruit and vegetable complex in Zona Franca, part of Europe's largest fresh produce distribution hub.
Mercabarna Pavilion B is an indoor wholesale fruit and vegetable market within the Mercabarna complex in Barcelona, located on Carrer Longitudinal 1 in the Zona Franca area of Sants-Montjuïc. It operates with 40 trading positions and is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 6pm, closed weekends. The facility serves trade buyers, including retailers, restaurant suppliers, and wholesale distributors, rather than individual shoppers. It forms part of one of Europe's largest fresh produce distribution networks, a complex that handles over one million tonnes of fruit and vegetables each year.
What to buy
The pavilion trades exclusively in fresh fruit and fresh vegetables, with stock rotating by season. Trading is heaviest in the morning as buyers load orders for distribution across municipal markets in Barcelona and across Catalonia more broadly. If you're visiting as a catering professional or wholesale buyer, arriving before midday gives you the widest choice.
