By far, our favorite part of Barcelona's La Ramblas is the Marcat de St Josep, also called La Boqueria. This is a beautiful covered market built in the 1830s. Here you can find all kinds of culinary delights; fresh vegetables, fruits, seafood, meat, cheese, nuts, baked goods and sweets. Walking through the market made Meggan and I realize how much we miss cooking. To come to a market like this to buy the freshest ingredients and prepare an evening's meal with friends would be amazing. Of course, living out of packs we have no room to bring a kitchen with us. We settled for the next best thing, eat in the market. There are several bar countered restaurants inside the market. Pull up a stool and eat something made with the fresh ingredients that surround you. This is a place you need to visit when you're in Barcelona. Be prepared for many people, but make the best of it. The people watching is top notch.

I didn’t know about the market – I’ll need to remember and check it out next time I’m in Barcelona.
This is a great market. The pictures I took here just popped with colors. The fresh fruits and vegetables, all the meats, spices and seasonings. If you’re a foodie, you really want to go there.
