Take in the local culture by meandering through the throngs of people going about their daily business at La Boqueria, arguably the country’s best-known market. Noted for selling a wide range of local products, including fish, meat, vegetables, and fruit, the market has been open since 1836. It’s worth a visit just for the colors, smells, and sights of the fresh foodstuffs displayed and sold here. Friendly vendors can tell you exactly where and how their goods were grown, raised, or harvested. Avoid driving and arrive as early as possible to miss the crowds. If you can allow time, take a seat at one of the cafes and spend a few moments observing other travelers as they search for a little bit of something Spanish to take home with them.

Huge market with so many choices of things to buy and eat; however, It is so crowded that social distancing is impossible. We would have stayed more than just a few minutes but just too overcrowded.

Beautiful colorful market where you can take in so many flavors. Lots to see with tons of people enjoying themselves. Went and had a great time with the girls and we left satisfied. Plenty to take with you when you head out. Great fruit and vegetables and tons of meats. Thank you for a great experience and see you again soon. It is definitely worth the trip

Excellent food. Really recommend to visit this market and try the different type of foods they have there, as well as the juices and smoothies. Also make sure to walk through the stands to admire the beautiful facade, that some of them have. The only downside is that there is no place to sit and enjoy your meal.
