Where could I go wandering?



Well, it depends on your mood. If you feel like something quiet, stop reading this. This walk is for those who love crowded places, at least sometimes...
The Boqueria Market is one of the most famous all over the world; probably it has to do with the fact of being in a Mediterranean town, such as Barcelona, where fruits, vegetables and fish are so easy to get. In Spain many towns have been founded around markets. In fact this market might come from the XIII century, although it probably had another name: Saint Joseph market. The
The current metal deck comes from 1914.
But the point here is that anything you might be searching for your last recipe, can be found here. From oriental food, to sea food, food books, wine shops and any kind of fruit. Do you need "lichis" for that wonderful romantic dinner? There you have. Maybe a special kind of olive oil or a new pan... everything is easy to find.




The fruit and the fish & seafood stalls are especially beautiful.


Not only can you buy food, but also you can eat it. Some of the stalls are bars where you can eat your "pincho" or your "tapa" as if you where in the street. My choice was the "Bar la Boqueria", red wine and cuttlefish.


However, one of the most famous is the "Pinotxo", remembering the traditional fairy tale.
