MERCAT DEL ENCANTS Main Roads Driving : 3 mins Bus : 1 - 2 mins
The iconic landmark in the Glories area. A continuous commercial area was designed with slightly in- clined planes intertwining and generating an endless loop which links stalls and small shops. The visitor’s experience is similar to a stroll through a pedestrian road.
ROOF
The new market is made unique by its roof, conceived as a sort of mirror and its distinctive architectural design.
It also satisfies another demand in that it incorporates a roof as a shelter from the sun and the rain. This is the purpose of the large roof over the new Encants market. It is also an icon of this market in the Glories area.
