La Boqueria, Barcelona

Love this market, it's super busy as you'd expect, with not too much space to eat what you buy, but the quality is great in general everywhere here. You'll get food from everywhere and usually there's a fish market in the centre too (it wasn't open on the Monday when we went, but that just left us a little more space). You can buy dishes to eat there, or items to take home. Slightly more expensive of course, and very touristy, but a very large, high market area - excellent to wander around in, grab some delicacies and a beer or 2.

The market was a fun experience. I recommend walking the entire market before choosing who to buy from because a lot of the vendors offer the same things for slightly different prices. But you can choose your own adventure. You can grab a snack or eat a whole meal. There aren't many seats in the market itself, but there is a small plaza behind it with some benches where you can take your goodies.

A must of you are in Barcelona!! Wonderful variety of local produce, from ham to cheese to olives to bars with sea food there is nothing that you crave that you won't find here! You will also find all the different fruits and chocolate and spices all around! I ate good here! Most vendors offer small portions which is great as it allows you to experience many different dishes! Fresh oysters are a must and also the paella!

This had to be the coolest Mercado I’ve ever been. Very lively and colorful. They had mangoes that looked luxurious and juicy. I didn’t care to buy any as I don’t have a kitchen in my hotel room but they should really offer cut to order cause the produce looks amazing here. I recommend coming here.

It is one of the most popular markets in Barcelona. So many stands, all colorfully decorated and the products are beautifully presented. Great atmosphere, we enjoyed very much walking about in the market, tasted some fresh juice. We didn't eat a big meal here since we were quite full, but did see many customers eating and drinking besides the stands. Definitely recommend!
