Dear steemians,
I have visited several markets since I live in Barcelona and "the Boqueria market" is definitely the best!
I love its atmosphere, its stalls, its smells, its colors ...
I went there to do fruit shopping for the holidays and I discovered the market in a new style.
I want to share with you the pictures I took of this unique place!
Here is the main entrance, which is on the famous "Rambla". The entrance to the market is free of course. There is always a crowd of tourists and locals. It is a must in the city.
You can not come to Barcelona without visiting it! There is local food but also food imported from all over the world! Like these exotic fruits for example.
My 3 favorites stands:
1- candy stand
They are characters in almond paste! So cuuuuute...^^
Do you want a skewer of chocolate strawberries?
2- exotic fruit stand
3- fresh fruit juice stand
I still have my ritual when I go to Boqueria.
First, I go to the stand fresh fruit juice! They are so tasty !!!
Then I walk in all the aisles of the market and observe everything!
Then, as everything makes me hungry, I buy food to peck: olives, fresh fruits, nuts, almonds ...
There are booths that offer the same thing, so do not hesitate to compare prices and go to the cheapest ;).
You can also eat on the spot. There are many bars in the market where you can enjoy fresh products such as seafood, cold meats, cheese ... with a good glass of Spanish wine! Cheers!
This market is open from Monday to Saturday from 8 am to 8:30 pm. And be careful it is closed on Sundays!
