Although the origins of la Boquería are not clear, it is sure that is a great walk in market located in the center of La Rambla.

Throughout the years, la Boquería has become one of the most symbolic structures in the city of Barcelona. The structure, the situation, and the salespeople are all reasons that attract many tourists today. Many of the people that work in la Boquería have had family members that have been doing it for many generations. This market is the perfect fusion between past and present along with a nice blend of culture.

In addition, visitors can check the rich cuisine which encompasses Barcelona and Catalonia as a whole. And there is no better way to give a short tour of its galleries and its more than 300 booths to enjoy a feast of colors, flavors and aromas.

The specialization of the booths is so vast that we can find shops that are dedicated exclusively to a single types of food: the case of bananas, eggs and cod. The greengrocers, fishmongers, delicatessen, butchers, etc. have  great expertise because this is their life.
