There aren’t many supermarkets near that square. Try doing a search for ‘Carrefour’ which is on La Rambla or even Corte Ingles on Pl. Catalunya!

Thanks for this information! We ( family of 4)will be staying in an apartment near Universitat. Do you know where there is a supermarket and good place to buy food in the area?

Thanks Taylor. Pasta is cheaper there, and, more tasty. Something about pasta in Italy is SO good.

Great post Regina!

Prices are about the same here in Florence, Italy. The only major difference would be for the pasta, which is VERY cheap like .40 cents / 500g (euro) for the cheaper brands found at local supermarkets here (like Coop and Esselunga). I’d also ask about the the specialty foods found in the region you are in … as they are best eaten in that region and they would normally be cheaper as well 😉
