Over the years, the Boqueria has become one of the most iconic markets. Its structure, location and vendors make it a must-see for all tourists visiting Barcelona. Although it is not a monument per se, it is treated as one because of its both its location, right on the Rambla, and its atmosphere. The largest market in Spain has a place in the hearts and minds of all Barcelona natives; it is bound to the history of the city, all our families, its traditions and popular festivals.

The first thing that draws your attention as you approach the Boqueria is the mix of scents and colours that fill its entrance. Everything is arranged with painstaking care because at the Boqueria products are not just sold – they are also displayed.

Most of the vendors today are the third and fourth generation at the market. They are the merger of past and present: innovative, full of plans and ideas to keep the Boqueria relevant for the new Barcelona.
