About La Boqueria Market
At La Boqueria, fruit, fish and food stalls compete for your attention up close. The official name is Mercat de Sant Josep, a reminder of the convent that once stood on this site. The commercial link with La Rambla began before the covered market was built.
Look at what is headed for the kitchen, too. If you want to eat at a counter, check the menu before sitting down. Leave room for those who work or shop here, and ask permission before photographing a stall: the market doesn't pause its workday for your trip.
