Mercat La Boqueria is a large Spanish market with an immense variety of goods located near several significant landmarks in the Ciutat Vella district in Barcelona. It is also known as Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, with “Boqueria” coming from where goat meat is sold.
The market also offers other fresh meats, fish, fruit, vegetables and much more, all prized for their high quality. Entry to the market is from La Rambla, and a mosaic of Joan Miro in the square makes the little area of the Rambla stand out, as does the spectacular copper-screened and dragon-embellished Casa Bruno Quadros across from it.
