" La Boqueria "

A trip to Mercat de Sant Josep may not be enough for an hour,



to appreciate the local market, one needs to delve into their fresh produce,
try a few Jamons (hams) and then taste their rich cocoas and maybe those gooey colorful candies.
so, let's tour the market and see what we can find.

first, a handful of gummies


and chocolates! , almonds and roasted nuts...




nutty goodness and mushrooms...


did you say wild mushrooms?!


fresh veggies, dried goods.






must try "pintxos" = a snack typically eaten in bars, popular in the Basque country.
typical with a skewer or toothpick, often to a piece of bread + a nice slice of pizza and a cute server.


some out-of-the-blue frozen favorites




feast your eyes on Jamon galore




marinated cod fish




hope you enjoyed this as much as we did. ^-^

" La Boqueria "

a trip to Barcelona isn't complete without spending a few minutes at La Boqueria.



The place, which is Mercat de Sant Josep, located along Las Ramblas,
spells a plethora of fresh foods from Iberico Jamon, cocoas, candies, heavenly wild mushrooms and more.



During weekends, the market is not only filled with curious tourists but local Catalans as well.





here's a historical photo of how it looked ages ago.


I mean, really, it's literally a dizzying array of food stalls and tempting delicacies.



if you walk further, there's a small outdoor market as well.


I was looking up for more interesting sights and was startled when this guy
was looking at my lens directly. yikes! ^0^
But i love the view from up there,
a nice balcony too.



but wait! there's more on my next post.
sit tight okay?!
