Barcelona Trip --- La Rambla --- Boqueria Market



Barcelona's Boqueria market has become a very special place for food-gourmets from around the world. But Boqueria is not the only market in Barcelona, almost every place in Barcelona has its market. Some are very different and mostly they are pretty stored up with goods and products from all over the world.

The market La Boqueria is also known by the name Mercat de Sant Josep (Market of Saint Joseph), this is the most famous market with fresh food from all over the world in Barcelona. The stalls on the market are full of varicoloured fruits, vegetables, meat and sea-fruit such as different sort of fish and shells from all over the world. Most of saleswomen and salesmen are wearing traditional aprons, which gives you a very homely feeling.
Among the rich offer of the food you can watch a very eager interaction between sellers and buyers. For the moment you get a filling they all know each other, but thats almost impossible. Spanish people just like to talk, always and everywhere. On market La Boqueria are also a lot of tapas stalls. There you can try a very good sea food by cheap prices. You can have a very delicious lunch in Kiosko Universal.
