At Plaça Gran, the main square of Granollers located in the old town, fifteen columns support a hip-roof structure adorned with green glazed tiles, standing on a stone platform. Built in the late 16th century as a corn exchange, this portico has evolved into Granollers’ focal point. Initially housing stalls, it served its purpose until the Spanish Civil War, during which a bombardment reduced La Porxada to ruins. Subsequently reconstructed, the columns now stand open to the public. Currently, every Thursday it hosts fruit and vegetable stalls from the weekly market, which was first documented in 1040 and now features more than 400 stalls.

To reach La Porxada, take the R2 Renfe train from Barcelona-Sants and disembark at Granollers Centre station. It's a 16-minute walk from there to La Porxada.
