[2025 Barcelona Attraction] Travel Guide for Mercat de la Boqueria (Updated Mar)

#JapanFlightEvent @@Those of you who are planning a trip to Barcelona, ​​Spain this summer, take note🇪🇸 If you were to ask me which country I liked the most among the countries I've traveled to, I would recommend Spain. That's how many times I've been to Spain, and Barcelona in particular was so good that I've traveled there 3 times. For those of you who are planning to visit Barcelona for the first time, I'll recommend a few places to visit!🫶🏽 🏨Recommended Barcelona Hotels - Hotel Colón Barcelona Hotel Colón / A 5-star hotel located right in front of the Barcelona Cathedral. The rooftop terrace cafe is especially famous for its view of the cathedral. (Even non-hotel guests can use it.) - Leonardo Hotel Barcelona Gran Via Leonardo Hotel Barcelona Gran Via / This is a 3-star hotel that I recommend because of its great facilities and service. It's a great value for money accommodation! 📍Places to visit in Barcelona - Catedral de Barcelona / A cathedral with a different charm from the Sagrada Familia Cathedral. It's located in the Gothic Quarter. - La Rambla / A shopping street with various shops and restaurants. Always full of people. - Mercat de la Boqueria / An indoor public market with lots to see, including food, meat, and processed foods from Spain. - Casa Milà, Casa Batlló / These are famous buildings by the genius architect Gaudi. If you travel to Barcelona, ​​you must take a Gaudi tour! - Parc Güell / If you haven't been to Casa Milà or Casa Batlló, you must visit this place. This park perfectly shows Gaudi's identity, and it's great for a walk, quiet, and has many photo spots. - Basílica de la Sagrada Família / A place you absolutely must visit in Barcelona. The Sagrada Familia Cathedral! I've been to many European cathedrals, but I think the Sagrada Familia is the most magnificent and beautiful. I highly recommend you try the audio guide tour🫶🏽 - Plaça de Gaudí / A garden in front of Sagrada Familia, famous as a Sagrada view photo spot. - Bunker MUHBA Turó de la Rovira / A viewpoint where you can see the entire city of Basel at a glance. It's famous for its sunset, but it's currently open until 6pm. - Tibidabo / An amusement park with a Ferris wheel and several rides. It's a viewpoint in Barcelona with a magnificent cathedral. Of all the places I've been to in Basel, this is probably the prettiest sunset & night view point. - Camp Nou Spotify Camp Nou / You should definitely watch an FC Barcelona game. I went when Messi was there, but it's still the best for watching La Liga games..! Watch El Clásico. - Arc de Triomf / It has a different charm from other European triumphal arches. Sometimes, small festivals are held in front of it. - La Barceloneta / Barceloneta Beach, a must-visit in summer and winter. - Castell de Montjuïc / A castle built in the 17th century, it is the symbolic castle of Barcelona. The view is great, and the fountain show at the Montjuïc fountain is the best! Barcelona is so beautiful that I've visited it 3 times, and there are so many places to visit. Spain has a Mediterranean climate, so it's warm even in winter. It's hot in midsummer, so I recommend April-June and September-October! If you're visiting Barcelona for the first time, save it and use it as a reference.🧡 #europe #europetrip #barcelona #spain #barcelonatrip #spaintravel #Europe #Europeantravel #Europeantraveldestination #Europeantravelrecommendation #Barcelona #Barcelonatravel #Spain #Spaintravel #Spaintraveldestination #Barcelonahotplace

I went to the famous tourist spot in Spain, "Buceria Market" 🍽️🇪🇸 It's located just a short walk from Liceu Station 🚉 It's a lively market where you can eat fresh seafood, fruit, and prosciutto while walking around 👟 The products were lined up in colorful displays, and it was a lot of fun just to look around ☺️✨ The prosciutto and fruit juice were especially delicious 🐖🥤 There were also several bars in the market where you could sit down and eat and drink, and all the shops were crowded! I also recommend eating pinchos and paella while drinking 🥘✨ They also sold small bottles of seasonings such as salt and olive oil, which are perfect as souvenirs! After purchasing, they will carefully wrap the vials so they don't break🛍️ It didn't feel dangerous at all, but it was quite crowded with customers, so be careful of pickpockets⚠️ 🕰️Business hours: 8:00-20:30 *Closed on Sundays 📍Location: La Rambla, 91, Ciutat Vella, 08001 Barcelona, ​​Spain #Overseas travel record

When you come to Spain, don't forget to check out the market in Barcelona, which is very large and full of food /fruits and small Souvenir gifts. The focus is on the taste of Spanish tapas. The market is really lively, and the crowds are really popular. Many, you must be careful when you come here! When we eat, the shopkeeper has always reminded us to be careful of pickpockets. Even the restaurant's dining seats are prepared by themselves (how terrible it is). I recommend a restaurant on the left side facing the door. It's really delicious, and the boss is also very funny, but it's a pity that the price is a little expensive!

#celebratewithtrip Along the famous tourist drag, Las Ramblas, you’ll find one of Europe’s largest and most fantastic food market: La Boqueria. La Boqueria Market is the perfect place to get the best sense of what Catalan cuisine and culture is made up of. The easiest way to access the market is to take the Green Metro line to Liceu Station, and from there it’s a short one minute walk over to the market. The market is open from 8 am till 8:30 pm Monday to Saturday (closed on Sundays) Over here you can find all kind of food , drink and frest product . I will recommend to go early so it not so crowded.

Barcelona's oldest market still draws shoppers and visitors for its technicolor fruit smoothies, stalls of cured meat and other delicacies, and counter-seating eateries. La Boqueria might be Barcelona’s oldest market—it started life in 1217 as a mere huddle of meat stalls on La Rambla—but tradition isn’t staid. More than 200 stands unite like a foodie’s choir: traders’ shouts, the clink of glasses, welcome greetings sung out ("holaaaa"). Though, for all the atmosphere, it’s the smell that gets you: warm, ocean-salty, freshly fried fish—the kind that lines your nostrils, excites your stomach, makes your physician tense, and has to be washed down with a glass of cava. Once past the swaths of tourists photographing the stained-glass entrance, the crowd is increasingly local. The back half of the market, especially around the quirkier offal stalls, are still where chefs and quality-savvy Catalan families do their shopping. #market #barcelona #spain

I went to the Boqueria Market in Barcelona, ​​Spain ~ The food is expensive in the front of the market, but the prices go down as you go inside!! There are a lot of tourists and it's really crowded.

📍Address: La Rambla, 91, 08001 Barcelona, ​​Spain 🕰️Opening Hours: • Monday to Saturday: 08:00 - 20:30 • Sundays and Public Holidays: Closed 📝 Eat the best Spanish ham and French oysters 🦪 in this market. The French oysters are the most recommended, and they also have free salmon caviar tasting. After walking around, I couldn't help but go back and eat again. Although the French oysters were not plump, they were fresh and sweet (I tried another local Spanish oyster, not so fresh but the meat was thicker, quite addictive!) Ham tried MAS's expensive goods, 12 dollars a portion, with acorns fed a large Iberian black pig, 😋 really fragrant so that my mother does not recognize! The ham and oysters were both great, but nothing else that day was good! The time was a bit rushed that day, did not walk very carefully, the whole market feels dedicated to tourist business, but the environment is clean and tidy, walking quite comfortable ~ #February Good Places 2025 #Barcelona #food

Today we ushered in the World Book Day, and in Catalonia, Spain, a more grand festival is being celebrated, that is, St. George's Day (Diada de Sant Jordi).

On top of the cake, the pastry chef will cleverly place a layer of caramel as a cover, decorated with various festive patterns and decorations, such as dragons, roses and red and yellow flags. Tasting cakes is like turning the pages of a book and reliving the ancient legend of the dragon-slaying knight. 🏨[Accommodation Guide]: Customize the hotel according to your needs 🧡[tips]: It is recommended to buy tickets for popular attractions in advance to avoid queuing for too long

#newyearnewtrip Mercat De la Boqueria in Barcelona is one of spain's most famous and oldest market. It is fun to explore here, with many interesting stalls that stands out with it's colourful and unique display of food, snacks, fresh seafood and iberico ham and meat. With its central location, the mercat de la boqueria makes it's easily accessible to tourists as it is just a short walk from town or the metro and bus station. I love how exciting and vibrant the atmosphere is at the market. Items sold here are alittle on the pricier side but it does show you all of barcelona's freshest produce and some items may not be what you can get from home as well. Eat, shop and explore here as you can easily spend half a day here. I highly recommend trying their seafood in a cone, grab some yummy empanadas and some cured meat sandwiches. They are really the most delicious!

When I was in Spain Barcelona I visited the Mercado La bouqueria and had some food here. The calamari was not too bad but there are better stores out there that are more crispy , scallops were ok, seems quite fresh but prices a bit high and the puff was huge and worth the price paid as it was super filling but taste wise was quite average. Overall suggest to just come by and try out some food while you are here, as a tourist.

Everyone has mixed reviews about this market, most say to avoid it. But for tourists like us who want to experience Spanish cuisine and see what the locals sell, I think it's worth a visit😋. We also looked for other markets on Google Maps, but they close too early, and there was nothing much to eat or see when we got there😟, the Boqueria Market's business hours are very tourist-friendly. We bought a fried food platter (6 euros) and Spanish dumplings (2.5 euros), both of which were already fried and just reheated when you buy them. They're not particularly delicious but not bad either, good enough for a meal. For fresh juice, you can walk inside the market, where it's 2 euros, while it's 2.5 euros at the entrance. We bought two glasses and both were very tasty🥰! I see that most people avoid it mainly because the fruits and candies are too expensive. We compared prices with a supermarket later and indeed they were a third higher, so don't buy fruits and souvenirs here🤐! 😍Follow me for more practical travel tips on my homepage, let's travel the world together!
