On famed Las Ramblas has to be one of the best markets ever: La Boqueria. Talk about a feast for the eyes! The colours in there are amazing. This market, with an over 300 year history, is composed of beautifully displayed fruits and veggies of every type, breads, seafood, eggs, meat, nuts, candies, and even tapas bars. And if you want to talk about freshness, the seafood here was still moving! Its a wonderful place to pick up some breakfast or lunch, and Hubby and I went there several times during our 5 day break. Here is one of those times where a picture is worth a thousand words,and acutaully, we probably took about a thousand pictures. Here is a selection of some of our best photos.
