Barcelona Market!

 

 

Mercat Boqueria 

There are several markets in Barca.  This one is just off the main strip Las Ramblas.

I was so impressed with how beautiful it is!  The colors, aromas, and sounds are dazzling.  I've seen a lot of markets.... this one really impressed me!

There were plenty of grab-and-eat goodies, including half a pineapple, fresh-squeezed juices...

...And this red, prickly fruit!  ...which I bought, but I still don't know what it's called.

Then of course there was loads of fresh fish!

And cured pork is very common in Spain!  I saw it here, but it's also sold in every supermarket.  An entire pork leg?  I need someone to tell me how they eat this....

And they're not at all shy about fresh meat~

Cow tongue.

Sheep heads.

Chicken!  (feet still attached...)

 And it goes on...

 

 

Heaps of candies!  So perfectly arranged.  Can you spot the candy "fried eggs"?

I really loved discovering all the new food!
