Here are photos taken at La Boqueria. There's so much life and color here. It's vibrant and it's always full of people. For me, it's the colors of sweets and produce that entices me to spend hours here.
These Mangoes were HUGE. The photo doesn't really show it, but I've never seen such large Mangoes.
My weakness...locally made sweets.
You can see that I hovered at this shop for quite a long time.
Spiral lollipops, olive oil bottles and more.
Peppers and vegetables.
Mushrooms
These are soft candies covered in sugar. They also come in different flavors.
La Boqueria also offers places for lunch and really good tapas. It's worth a visit and I think it's a great place to shop and eat.
It reminds me of the Mercato Centrale in Florence. I love these types of places too.
ReplyDeleteYes, I've been to the one in Florence too. There's something about markets that makes me excited and happy.
Deletewhen we travel, we always check out the local market of the place we're visiting. a place's exuberance is captured in its market.
ReplyDeleteI think it's also in the local markets that you'd see what locals are buying and eating. For me, it makes me feel that I'm getting real stuff not the touristy kind.
DeleteWow I'm sure the pictures don't capture the scent. The smell must have been heavenly. Makes me hungry :D
ReplyDeleteOh yes, there were all types of food smells from fruity, grilled to fried and all sorts.
