Where to stay in Cornellà de Llobregat
Cornellà de Llobregat sits just outside Barcelona, so staying in the City Centre keeps you close to the market while giving you easy metro access into the city. It's a practical base if you want to combine the El Mercadell visit with a day in Barcelona.
If you'd prefer to stay central in Barcelona itself, [[area: L'Hospitalet de Llobregat]] is right on the border and well connected by metro Line 1, putting you just a few stops from Cornellà. Either way, you won't need a car, and the commute is short.
