Travel by photos – La Boqueria market, Barcelona

If you enjoy summertime, you will surely love Barcelona. Even with its countless attractions and great foods, reasonable pricing means visiting Barcelona will never burn a hole in your pocket. In fact, Barcelona was among the cheapest city to travel on my 2 previous Europe trips which included cities such as London, Paris, Rome, Lucern, Berlin, Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam.

La Boqueria is one of the best place to find some great bargain on… foods. Especially for summertime, you can get some really good choices of Mediterranean fruits to cool you down!

La Boqueria is the fresh market in the city centre of Barcelona. If you are wandering La Rambla street in a hot afternoon in Barcelona (well, all visitors stop by here anyway), find your way to this market along La Rambla that tucked in between 2 rows of shops, and start looking for bargains and capturing colourful scenes with your camera!

Here are my collection of photos with those wild colours and crazy bargain found in the market of La Boqueria.

One of the biggest hit is of course Jamon stall, or Spanish ham.

Fruits are the main actor here.

No one can resist on these colorful soft candies!

Other than fresh fruits, preserved or dried fruits are also popular in the market.

Did I miss out ‘the must’ in a fruit market, such as fresh fruit juice and cuts?

Shell seafood is also available in La Boqueria.

And of course dairy products such as cheese, butters and eggs.

This is pricing for a Kilogram in Euro’s.

Let’s capture some wild colours!

2€ for an Argentine snack. Wanna try?

I bought a Kilo of these strawberries for only 1.19€!

Jelly? Nope. It’s preserved cherries in a jug.
