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!
I hope you enjoyed the visit! If so, do not hesitate to vote and share my article ;)!
Thank you for your support and see you soon for a new visit!

i am surprised that in barcelona, most of the signs have english. Is it because they are catering to tourists? or are most people bilingual?
Hi blackmox. Spain in general and Barcelona in particular is a popular destination for visitors from other European countries - especially UK and Germany.
Exactly! Thank you for your answer @robavalon! ;)
makes sense!
Looks like fun

@flamingirl LOVE LOVE Boquiera Market! Great to see all the mouthwatering festive treats...
Aah the fruits the veggies all pics are
mouth watering 🤤
C'est une super marché je ne me souviens pas m'y etre arrêtée lorsque je vivais sur Barcelone (stage de trois mois) pour moi c'était plage, plage, plage et quelques musees quand il y avait un sale temps, je regrette maintenant. J'ai lu ton premier article (ta présentation) et ça m'a rappellé mon expérience lorsque j'ai quitté Londres après 6 ans. Metro boulot Dodo. Maintenant je vis à Lisbonneje bosse à temps partiel, j'ai moins d'argent mais plus de temps et je peux faire tellement plus de choses avec ce que je gagne.
This is a wonderful representation of Mercat Boqueria. I love the almond paste cookies you shot so well - they are very emblematic of the holidays throughout Spain. I lived in Madrid for two years (from NYC) and often drove the A-2 highway to get my Barcelona fix. Looking forward to more shots of your travels!
Wow, I liked the fruits :)
The pictures look so tempting. A skewer of chocolate strawberries - just drooling ;)
Omg... I am eating while looking at your post, and now I am hungry all over again :))
Chocolate! 😍😋
This place looks so wonderful! I really hope that there would be places like this where I live :D
Such rich colour, your senses must have been overwhelmed.
