La Boqueria

This is both a famous sight and an instructive experience. Although the Boqueria market in Barcelona has existed since the Middle Ages, this particular location has only been used for commerce for a little over 200 years. You'll see an exquisite and unusual iron and glass roof that was constructed in 1914. It's a genuine eye-opener to visit a bustling urban market, whether you want to buy some groceries or just take in the sights and noises.

It is a grid of permanent stalls that sells olive products as well as fruits, vegetables, cold meats, and cheese.

An oval-shaped arrangement of fishmongers dominates the center of the market. At one of the market's bars, unwind with a beverage and some tapas.

The most well-known public market in Barcelona. Your senses will be awed by the flavors of pretty much anything you can get your hands on, as well as the colors of the fresh produce, the aromas of the open kitchens, the hollers of the chatty merchants, the feel of the shoppers swarming about you, and the sounds of the vendors. If you can, lean against one of the bars and savor a meal crafted with the freshest possible ingredients. Try Bar Central, Bar Pinotxo, or Quim de la Boquera.
