El Putxet is a station of the Barcelona Metro on the FGC-operated line L7 (also known as Línia de Balmes). The station serves the El Putxet quarter of Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, and is situated under Carrer de Balmes.[2]
When first built speculatively in 1929, the station was named Mercado as it sits right next to Mercado de Sant Gervasi.[citation needed] The station remained closed until 1953, when it opened as Núñez de Arce. It received its current name in 1980.[3]
The station has twin tracks, with two 60 metres (200 ft) long side platforms.[2][3]
