Essentials
Caprabo is the closest, largish supermarket. Located in the Santa Caterina market, the covered market for our district. "Cuines Santa Caterina" , a restaurant, is the closest location to the Caprabo that showed up on the search, so I marked it. The restaurant is also very nice, and popular. One of the Tragaluz group restaurants. The Santa Caterina market is lively, similar to the famous Boqueria, but smaller (still large) with a bit more of a neighborhood feel.

Sightseeing
Large gothic church, almost a cathedral. Unusual unity in design and execution. Uncluttered interior allows one to appreciate the building from the inside. The tours are worth the time and small price.
