It's right off the Rambalas so visiting it is very convenient. Lot of vendors - fruits, vegetables, fast food, seafood, candies, chocolates, marzipan, jamon, spices etc. Try fresh juice for 2 euro.

Freshest oysters in the city are right here. Flown in from the South of France every morning. €2 a pop, shucked right at the stall, served with lemon. You'll be instantly transported to seafood heaven

Don't get fooled! A cool fruit juice is the perfect way to enjoy La Boqueria … BUT … know that the ones on sale at the entrance cost double the price of those you’ll find a few steps further inside.

A foodie’s paradise. One of the most incredible food markets. There is so much to choose from: fresh meats, seafood, spices, chocolates, candies, etc. The fresh juices are the best, so many combos.

Wow! This is, by far, the most impressive and well priced food market I have ever been to. It offers a seemingly endless assortment of breads, meats, fish, nuts, fruits... it goes on and on.

In addition to the stalls, you can also snag a seat at one of the tiny tapas bars and snack on fried artichokes, cod croquettes and shrimp in garlic sauce. Read more

Colors, smells, spices will travel you back in time where women use to come every day and buy the essential products to prepare their family's dinner. Go to the fresh seafood- it tastes like heaven.

Don't miss this awesome place while you are in Barcelona .. Fruit and juices are so fresh and tasty .. Too many options for quick snacks or breakfast
Robin BertelsJuly 28, 2015
The most colorful place in Barcelona with the finest meat, cheese, fish, fruits & candy, although a bit overpriced. If you come early, La Boqueria is less crowded but fish stalls might still be empty.
Ahmed MongealMarch 4, 2018
If you are in Barcelona, don’t forget to spend some time in this place, enjoy the sea food at the bar settings, enjoy the freshly squeezed juices and take nice spices with you back home!

This market is wonderful for all the foodies out there. Head over to try a variety of local food, snacks + juices. Everything is so colourful and vibrant, you may have to come back for round 2.

Been here 5+ times
This is the best market i have ever been. For every Culi this is the place to be. Grocery shopping for home cooking or eating in one of the Tapas bars. Great Fish & Seafood prepared just fresh!
JessicaJune 15, 2016
One of the best markets I've ever visited. Definitely go hungry and sample as much as you can! But be sure to look around and compare prices, there's several stalls selling basically the same thing.
Liuza Kabir HaqueApril 13, 2014
Hope your camera is fully charged cause this is a must-see market, all the fruit, candy (and so much more!) is set beautifully. Try the ice-cream, they have everything from Oreo to Ferrero Rocher!
Kevin DulinApril 22, 2017
Amazing market, and the Crepes are a must try! Such much fresh fruit and juice to snack on whilst having a wander through.
BubbleNovember 15, 2014
A food market where you can find everything! Meat, fish, fruit, vegetables. A lot of colour! You can find delicious fresh juices with great variety. Cheaper ones are further into the market.
RTWgirl ArnetteMay 16, 2013
One of my favourite markets in the world. Went here every day while in BCN. Love the candy and juice stalls. Oh and a stall that sells fruit juice popsicles
Nil GünalApril 7, 2016
If you like fresh seafoods, you can choose the places in La Bouqeria. After that, you can walk and eat also fresh fruits. Lovely place.
DavideSeptember 4, 2014
Wonderful food market full of tipical Spain products: make your way to the stalls on the centre or the rear, you'll find lower prices. You can't miss those fruit juices, or the tapas.
Anya GregoryJuly 24, 2015
Lovely market. Filled with fresh produce, meats, cheeses, fresh juices. Definitely a must-see if you like markets. Tip: things get cheaper towards the back! Don't pay more than 1 euro for a juice.
Dilek UnarNovember 23, 2014
Very touristic market, so crowded. However, fruits and vegetables as well as tapas and food are so delicious. You can eat fruits already prepared in small boxes, drink natural fruit juices.
Fred WilsonSeptember 13, 2014
go at lunchtime and sit at one of the many tapas bars in the market
Nilgun Yilmaz, NilyDecember 24, 2015
You can find sea food, meet or charcuterie there... a lot of fresh fruits as well. It's a lovely bazaar in Larambla, Barcelona.
John AndersonMay 30, 2019
Amazing market just off La Rambla. It’s worth wandering a little deeper into the market as prices are more reasonable. Cones of Iberian ham and cheese are highly recommended.

At markets across the city, families are preparing for the Castanyada - a Catalan tradition held on All Saints Day. The highlight is a meal of roasted chestnuts, sweet potatoes, fruits and cakes! Read more

People have been coming to La Boqueria since the 13th century. Don't miss the fish market early each morning, and head back in the afternoon for drinks and tapas in one of the bars inside.

I wish I could drink all those fresh juices! Coconut+banana was delicious! Fresh fruits are good too. Don't buy the chocolates, they're expensive and nothing exceptional.
MuratOctober 14, 2023
Fantastic, with many small kiosk-like shops for seafood, fruits, charchuterie, cheese, meat, etc. Some even serve tapas, food and drinks. So crowded, but so picturisque. Watch out pickpockets.
Olga K.August 7, 2016
Adore this place. Take some olives and prosciutto and have some wine with it all at the right side of the market from the entrance. It is sold by glass too there. Also check out the oysters!
LauAugust 15, 2014
Ahhhh... Heaven...One can find lotsa fresh fruits and delicious tapas over here. It's the same all around the world that you need to keep an eye for a nice bargain...Fresh seafood at affordable price!

We were absolutely surprised by this great market! Ended up here accidentally and were overwhelmed by the amount of beautiful food 😍 Absolutely worth visiting!
Yuri BCNMarch 21, 2012
First class fruit, vegetables, pork, beef, poultry, game, fish, mushrooms, bread, wine.. just about anything you would expect from renowned public market first documented as a farmers' market in 1217!
Michaela HanakovaSeptember 1, 2017
So touristy...what do you expect in Barcelona, huh?! One tip if you come in the morning on the right side there are local sellers and they are not as expensive and have some awesome products.
Miha StrazisarMarch 15, 2023
Jamon Iberico, wide selection of seafood, fruit and more. You can sit down at some bars and order tapas or just take some jamon on the go. A lot of turist but hey, so are you :)

Very cool. Amazing market with an array of different foods. Try a little everywhere !
Navarro AydemirSeptember 3, 2018
Of course, sit on a stool by the counter at a fish restaurant and enjoy, the food is amazing, the price tag not so much ;)
Dean JohnsonJune 23, 2015
I always go for a strawberry & coconut smoothie (One of the stands has them for €1) and a chicken empanada for a total of €3.50. Towards the end of evening, some stands give discounts.

Dating all the way back to the 13th century, this colorful Barcelona market is a must-see! Be sure to stock up on the freshest fruits in BCN!
Tesi KaltenhauserSeptember 20, 2019
Great market! Lots of different kind of traditional food. Cool atmosphere. And the prices are getting better the further you go backwards.

Very busy but so many options for meat, ice cream, fresh fruits, and smoothies. Go for lunch or snack after walking down La Rambla!
GörkJanuary 31, 2014
This is a must-see, must-shop, must-eat place, don't miss it! Quite crowded on Saturdays but makes a good atmosphere. Closed on Sundays. Don't leave there without tasting any of that fresh&yummy food.

Beautiful stalls for tourists pictures. Also wonderful, authentic stalls filled with great food and friendly people (many of them owned by families dating back many generations).
Sofia PapastamelosJune 13, 2017
