I prefer this market than Boqueria. Smaller, less tourists. A couple eateries full of locals. Slows down around 1 pm.
Produce "fresh from the market" is no trouble here as the restaurant is located within the excellent Santa Caterina Market.Fortunately they know how to convert great produce into great dishes as well!
Rooms are cleans, services are good, nice view on the sea. Just one negative point, the swimming pool is a little bit small. But i really recommends this hotel.

This place has a nice vibe, depending on the night you go, but it's always packed, making it super unpleasant to be in.
Authentic and quality basque kitchen that comes with somewhat slow but attentive service and an overpriced bill at the end. Lot's of seafood and uncomrpomised dishes from the north of Spain
