Travel Pro Places of Interest #131: Mercado Bocaria in Barcelona Spain! Part One (10 photos)
Hey there friends and followers. One of my favorite things to do while traveling the world is exploring the markets. The market place is so exciting, it truly has an energy of it's own. The market is where people come together, socialize, and showoff what's good in their part of the world. It's fun, it's cultural, it's tasty, and I love it!
The Barcelona Bocaria Market had to be one of the, cleanest, most beautiful, and most high end open air markets I have ever visited in all my 16 years of travel and international living. Day after day they put on a dazzling display of all things Spanish and delicious. Walking around with my camera in hand I quickly realized that I was not the only travel blogging game in town.
Everyone there seemed to be taking photos. The food looked literally picture perfect! The people working there were perfectly accustomed to photographers snapping away. The one thing that I did notice is that the people working there were speaking in English quite often and most people there were tourists! Then I realized that the market was located right off the main tourist street of La Rambla and is a tourist attraction itself.
For any foodie it's a must visit, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time there. As a "budget traveler" who offers "budget travel" tips, you can get pretty much get the same food at a more local market for about 25-50% less. The higher price comes with the tourist attraction element and wow factor of the display. Overall the Bocaria Market in Barcelona Spain is simply incredible, now come along and lets have a look around!

As you may or may not know, I have been out of town shortly after I posted this last #MarketFriday. Unfortunately, there was no internet, which I wasn’t aware of and so I did not have the opportunity to respond properly to all of your wonderful posts!
I was able to read them, but, to give the proper attention to them that they deserve, I did not as I am at a public library (believe it or not!) so, I typed one response to let you know that I did, in fact read your post and I am sorry that you didn’t get the personal replay as I would normally give.
I want to take a moment to thank you for the dedication you have shown to #MarketFriday and to me and I cannot express how touched I am by all of you. It continues to thrive with your posting into the challenge! I want to thank you for the time and effort spent on these posts and the words you leave behind! I cannot tell you how much it means to me, your wonderful posts and showing off your different cultures!
Please accept a token of my love and appreciation with a little extra tip from me to you!!
MarketFriday loves you!

Yes, I agree. The markets tell so much about the culture of a place! I was so disappointed that I TWICE missed the big market in Papeete last month. All the more reason to go back!
Thanks for the nice comment. I bet the Papeete Market may very well be worth returning for! Have a great day! -Dan
From what I have heard and read, yes it would be worth it! It's a long and expensive trip, so not sure when we will return - perhaps in about 5 years, as we have so many other places to visit and so little time. LOL!
Very very true. People often ask me have you been here....there....or there....and when the answer is "no". They look dissapointed, and all I can say is that the world is a really big place!
There is so much I have not seen in the USA. Also, I have seen more of Scotland since I left than ever I saw when I lived there.
USA is huge. I'm from there, and I haven't been to about 80% of the states.
