La Boqueria is Barcelona's most famous fresh food market. It sells everything from fruit, to vegetables, candy and meat. I went yesterday with a couple friends from API and Paul. We all got fresh fruit and smoothies for 2 euro. Cheapest lunch ever, also quite filling.... but the best part was that it was super healthy. :)
La Boqueria is located right off Las Ramblas and is not open on Sundays (as that is the day of rest/God in Spain). It is not only filled with fresh food, but hundreds of different vibrant colours from various foods from around the world. It's a very busy place with vendors trying to attract your attention, left, right and center - hoping that you will buy their food. My friends and I went to get lunch there, but it's also a really good place just to wander and look around. I couldn't get over the bright colours of the fresh fruit, and the sweet smell they gave off.
They even have a chocolate/candy section in La Boqueria... which is a little dangerous for me because I have an obsession with chocolate, especially from Europe/UK. But... I was good and only bought fruit and some cheese for lunch :) I got this pretty big block of fresh swiss cheese for 1.90 euros! Pretty cheap! Loved it.
I will most likely be going back there to get fresh fruit or cheese for lunches sometime soon!
