La Boqueria is perhaps the most touristed market in Barcelona. Located on La Rambla, it is chock full of delicious sweets, fresh meats, smoothies, peppers, and all sorts of goodies. Why say in words what I can illustrate with photos? Enjoy!

La Boqueria is an amazing market in Barcelona. You must go. Here are a few things to note if you’re planning a visit:
1. Watch your things. While Barcelona is high on the muggings scale, the market is a particular target since it is always crowded. Someone at my hostel was sprayed with water in the market and then they swiped her purse. So just watch your things.
2. The seafood people yelled at me. Everyone was very friendly about my taking photos, but the seafood people just wanted me to get out of the way.
3. The chocolates are expensive! I photographed a particular stand, and the owners were very friendly. In return I thought I should just buy a couple of chocolates, and hey, it might be nice to taste a few of those decadent looking treats! I picked out just a few of them, and it cost 7 Euros. Perhaps it’s best to window shop!
:O
I want to go!
Haha, so freaking cool. But pretty sure I’d spend 40 euros in candy :X
I don’t like the pigs though. I feel bad for them :(
Easily doable since it’s so pricey!
I really love markets like these! Everything here looked so colorful and who knew there were so many different types of peppers. I would definitely visit this market while in Barcelona.
I know! I love peppers. Wish I had more time- I would have bought some :)
Overload for me!!! First I was excited about the gummie candies and then the pigs with caps and then the peppers!
What about the boob-shaped chocolate?
Oh man, there was some serious food porn in this post (and I’m not just talking about the boobs)! Everything looks so delicious. How could you resist?
I think markets are my favorite thing to look at. Like, take those piggies for instance – while I think it is terrible they were killed, I know that suckling pig is delicious!
These market look great! Those poor little piglets! ;)
I’m always reading your Blog, I am so inspired of your pictures
Love the pics. I love markets in general, they make the best photo ops.
