It's the most popular market in town. The market of St. Joseph is best know as Boqueria and its a world into itself. It's very interesting for both its architecture and its atmosphere where you can find a great variety of products. It's in a 19th century structure of glass and iron.
Es el mercado más popular de la ciudad. El mercado de San José es más conocido como de la Boquería y encierra un mundo en sí mismo.

Mercat de Sant Josep - La Boqueria is the food market that everyone visits in Barcelona. Really a must-see, lovely, but always crowded!! However, when you walk around the Old town (Gotic-Ribera-Born), close to the Cathedral (La Seu) it's easy to find this not-so-known but interesting place: Mercat de Santa Caterina
The old market there was closed for many years, later its re-building project was commanded to the Miralles & Tagliabue architect's studio. Unfortunately Enric Miralles died before seeing it finished. The new market was opened in 2005, its most interesting feature being its wavy and colorful ceramic roof (built in clear Modernista inspiration). Inside is not disappointing, and its interesting the conjunction of the old walls with modern elements and market stalls.
You will find there all food market usual goods. The variety is nearly the same of La Boqueria (except for some very strange items you can only find at La Boqueria or very specific shops), as well similar quality and prices. There is as well a restaurant where you can sample some local delicacies at reasonable (but not cheap) prices Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkDirections: Not far from Jaume I metro stop, and waking distance from the old Cathedral and other sights. Opening Hours: Mon 8:00-14:00, Tue, Wed & Sat 8:00-15:30pm, Thu & Fri 8:00-20:30Website: www.mercatsantacaterina.net

La Boqueria; also called Mercat de Sant Josep, is a beautiful roofed food market located just off the Ramblas. It was built between 1836 and 1840.
Here you can buy some fresh fruits and vegetables; meat, fish and seafood; sweets. There are also some bars into this market. Some of these also serve food.
This market is open from monday to saturday; from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkDirections: The nearest metro stop of La Boqueria is; Liceu.

You'll probably enter at least 5 bars/cafes/restaurants every day but you still might get hungry while on the metro for example. Then it is useful to have some supplies from the supermarket with you, like water, fruit, jogurt, chocolate, biscuits, chewing gum.
There is a huge supermarket at the Ramblas with a great selection.
Or maybe, you also enjoy "visiting" supermarkets when on holiday. I love looking around and even buy some souvenirs. In Barcelona I once again made the experience that these days it is hard to find something new. All over Europe you get the same food more or less, and even made by the same companies. At least it is easy to compare prices :-) Leave a Comment Theme: Food and Drink

I always like to visit public markets in every city I go so I couldn’t miss the famous Boqueria, a colorful market that attracts locals and tourists (you can notice the difference because the tourists hold their camera and the locals stuff they buy here). In any case, it isn’t just a market because you can wander around and enjoy the colors of the exotic fruits and the smells of so many things, it is ideal for people-watching (check how they attract customers) and of course for shopping.
The market is divided into different sections like Pork Products and Meats, Dried Fruits, Fruits and Vegatables, Seafood, Seeds and Cereals, Olived, Fishes etc We bought all our fruits here and I liked that there are some tapa bars where you can sit and eat something or just enjoy a fresh orange juice.
The origins of the market go back at 13th century when it was an open-air market in front of one of the gates of the old city wall (plaza de la Boqueria). It was only in 1826 when the state officially recognized the market and created an official market The metal roof was set in 1914. The position of the market (in the middle of the Ramblas) makes it the most popular in Barcelona among visitors, tourists and locals.
It is open daily 8.00-20:00 Theme: Food and DrinkPhone: 93.318.2584Directions: the entrance is from La Ramblas, near the Opera house.
