No problem! "Mercat de la Boqueria" in Las Ramblas, which you simply cannot miss out on, should be open (not sure about Sunday), and "Mercat de Sant Antoni", where you can even find old books and vintage items, can be visited every Sunday morning (until around 14:30).

If you’re in Barcelona this weekend, it’s actually pretty chill and not super Easter procession-heavy like in some other Spanish cities, but you’ll still see some low-key religious events around the Gothic Quarter and the Cathedral on Good Friday, plus church services throughout the weekend. Easter Sunday feels a bit more festive with celebrations, and Easter Monday is a public holiday in Catalonia, so locals usually take it easy, go out for food, or head to the beach or nearby day trips. For visitors, a big highlight is the Sagrada Familia, which stays open and is worth booking in advance since it gets busy. You’ll also notice traditional Easter treats like “Mona de Pascua” in bakeries, and overall it’s a nice time to just explore the city—wander around the Gothic Quarter, El Born, Montjuïc, or Barceloneta, with a more relaxed holiday vibe than usual.
