Everywhere you go markets are a big attraction for tourists. This is especially true for Barcelona that has many markets to explore although they are often shadowed by Barcelona’s famous La Bouqueria. Its location half way down La Rambla makes it a must see tourist spot and to many people it is the number one attraction in the city. For me markets are a place where you get a real insight of the locals. I love the hustle and bustle of voices speaking a language that is foreign to me. Visiting La Bouqueria was amazing because I love the basics of Spanish food, shell fish, fruit, hams and vegetables. The goods were all artistically presented, which added to the charms of this fantastic place. Splashes of colour were everywhere inviting you to buy more than you could carry. I highly recommend the freshly squeezed juices and smoothies. Also a trip to La Bouqueria would not be complete without trying some tapas at one of the food stalls. Remember to pencil in your visit during the week as the market is closed on Sundays.
