La Boqueria is one of the world's most iconic food markets - a huge, bustling public bazaar featuring a wide variety of very fresh fruits and vegetables, seafood, meats, and dairy products. The selection is diverse enough to make even the most decisive of shoppers fall victim to paralysis of choice. Though it is located right on La Rambla, the market is still very much frequented by locals. The energy in this place is incredible; it really is quite something to pause and take in all the sights, sounds and smells around you. But, when and if you decide to gawk, beware the aggressive old ladies with stroller carts - a sure fixture in any notable food market around the world; what a strange phenomenon.

Sigh, La Boqueria. Not only the best produce, seafood and meat to purchase in a public market setting, but some of the best street food made fresh as you sit at the counter. I still have memories of eating plates of fresh sepia that's simply grilled and drizzled with a basil oil. mmmm.
Uff amazing pictures. the food and everything looks so fresh and delicious, great post.
Nice post once again. Thanks for sharing this kind of informative post.
