Undoubtedly the most famous market in Barcelona, la Boqueria was founded in 1840 as a small pig market and today boasts over 250 stands, including many casual restaurants and bars where you can taste the very best Catalan and regional Spanish cuisine.
Well known for the incredible selection of produce, fresh seasonal vegetables, and Iberian cold cuts - among others –, it is today one of the finest outdoor markets, a popular spot to stop for lunch, and was recently recognized as the “best fresh market” in the world by CNN.
