Located inside the Born barrio, Carrer dels Carders is a sort of hidden street only two minutes away from Mercat del Born. Its proximity the promenade, Passeig del Born, and the barrio’s touristic streets, make Carrer dels Calders a secondary choice, for a walk, shopping or having a meal. But it is sometimes in the unexplored places that we make the most interesting discoveries. Here are some of the establishments you can explore at Carrer dels Calders:
