All sorts of market shops in here selling everything to seafood, meat and jamon, produce, spices, nuts and candy. I'm especially impressed with the variety of zumos (fresh fruit juices) and pre-cut fruit available ready to eat. A couple of bar-type eateries are available to sample the "catch" of the day. more

I am a huge foodie, so this was like heaven. All the beautiful colors, displays, smells...heaven! There are places to pay for full takeaway meals-even one stand for organic vegetarians! There's wine stands, candy stands, fruit and vegetables, fish and meats-bakeries-just great. Feel free to take pictures, but it gets busy-watch for pickpockets, although we had no trouble here. more

Do not miss this incredible city market on your visit to Barcelona. City markets give you great insights into the way a city's citizens live and this must be one of the great food markets in the world. The array of food stalls is astounding and the food is just beautiful. While locals shop there every day, as a tourist... more

Go on your first morning ... you may want to go back every day. Wonderful produce, fish, etc., etc. etc. Have a coffee and pastry at one of the stands and just soak in the atmosphere and the scene. I've never been anywhere like it. more

If you love food, this is a must on your list to visit. The market is bustling with people and merchants. From the moment you enter the market there is much to desire. We ate at one of the lunch counters in the back of the market and enjoyed a great seafood platter. However, be prepared to wait! it is... more

Right off Las Ramblas, this food market is great fun. Well stocked with fruits, vegetables, meats, seafoods, cheeses, nuts, and much more. It actually feels very artistic, with arranging the freshest food in the most aesthetically pleasing way, to appeal to the customer. So I'd recommend a walk through even if you THINK you aren't going to buy anything (but... more

One of our most enjoyable activities while travelling is to visit various marketplaces. La Boqueria is probably one of the most enjoyable and impressive markets we have visited. Focused on food, this market will entice, and possibly assault, one or all of your senses. Through the 100+ stalls, you will see virtually every kind of food stuff know to people.... more

Just off Ramblas, it's another touristy stop in Barcelona. It's definitely pretty to look at, given the fruitstands. The prices are good, the fruit is about average, sometimes below average. However, there are lots of other nice food joints, esp. a seafood stand which was very crowded (avg prices). There's a tapas style restaurant in the back which was good,... more
