Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria or simply ‘La Boquería’.
La Boqueria is an enormous indoor market at the entrance to La Rambla. As we walked up La Rambla we couldn’t pass by without having a look inside and taking some pictures of this market which was too crowded with people for my liking.
The market began as a traveling market in 1200. At first it was an open-air market . In 1827 the market was merged with a nearby market and became La Rambla de Sant Josep. In 2005 the market won the prize for best market in the world, awarded by the World Market Congress.
There are over 900 stalls arranged in square blocks around the perimeter and in the center of the market an oval shaped configuration of stalls.
Thank you so much for looking and for the comments and fav’s on yesterday’s picture.
