I&#8217;ve read about the La Boqueria market before but I didn&#8217;t realize that it was just a few blocks away from our hotel in Las Ramblas, Barcelona. So, one morning when everyone else in my party was still sleeping, I went to check it out. \u00a0The entrance to the market is nothing extraordinary but what awaits inside will no doubt captivate your eyes. \u00a0It&#8217;s almost like looking into a kaleidoscope. \u00a0The displays were so colorful and neatly laid out. \u00a0La Boqueria is one of the oldest public market in Europe and is considered to be one of the best. They sell vegetables, fruits, meats, seafood, spices, fresh juices, and even candies.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><br \/>\nTourists are drawn to it for a good reason. I went when they were just opening and setting up so I was able to take photos with no hassle. \u00a0It&#8217;s a local market so it gets really crowded with the locals shopping and the tourists staring and taking photos. \u00a0The vendors don&#8217;t mind if you take photos of their stalls but I ended up buying some fresh mangoes, strawberries, and papayas because I felt bad and the fruits looked so good:) I also bought candies because they were so colorful and inviting. If you don&#8217;t mind the crowd and the smell of seafood, or even if you do, you should go see La Boqueria. It&#8217;s worth the visit!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/555904.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-259\" title=\"SONY DSC\" src=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/555904.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/555904.jpeg 3344w, https:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/555904-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/555904-1024x681.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/1338496.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-264\" title=\"SONY DSC\" src=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/1338496.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"368\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/1304768.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-263\" title=\"SONY DSC\" src=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/1304768.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"325\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/1261888.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-262\" title=\"SONY DSC\" src=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/1261888.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"325\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/1261888.jpeg 3302w, https:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/1261888-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/1261888-1024x681.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/851520.jpeg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-260\" title=\"SONY DSC\" src=\"http:\/\/ilahblogs.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/08\/851520.jpeg\" alt=\"\" width=\"490\" height=\"337\" srcset=\"https:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/851520.jpeg 3153w, https:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/851520-300x206.jpg 300w, https:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/08\/851520-1024x704.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 490px) 100vw, 490px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/58440679@N02\/sets\/72157627492307386\/\">Click here for more photos<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<div id='teoShare' ><div id='zeit' style='background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #FFFFFF;\r\nborder: 1px solid #AAAAAA;\r\ncolor: orange;\r\nfloat: left;\r\nheight: 13px;\r\npadding: 2px 1px 6px;\r\nposition: relative;\r\nwidth: 40px;'><a href='http:\/\/goo.gl\/rqtAe' target='_blank' style='text-decoration:none;'>Share!<\/a><\/div>\r\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"teoLike\" style=\"width:50px\"><iframe src=\"http:\/\/www.facebook.com\/plugins\/like.php?href=ilahm.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fposts%2F251\"\r\n\t\t\t\tscrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\"\r\n\t\t\t\tstyle=\"border:none; width:50; height:25px\"><\/iframe><\/div><div id='teo2Google'>\r\n\t\t<!-- Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render -->\r\n\t\t<g:plusone size='tall' annotation='none'><\/g:plusone>\r\n\r\n\t\t<!-- Place this render call where appropriate -->\r\n\t\t<script type='text\/javascript'>\r\n\t\t  (function() {\r\n\t\t\tvar po = document.createElement('script'); po.type = 'text\/javascript'; po.async = true;\r\n\t\t\tpo.src = 'https:\/\/apis.google.com\/js\/plusone.js';\r\n\t\t\tvar s = document.getElementsByTagName('script')[0]; s.parentNode.insertBefore(po, s);\r\n\t\t  })();\r\n\t\t<\/script>\r\n\t\t<\/div><div id=\"teoTweet\" >\r\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/share\" class=\"twitter-share-button\" data-count=\"none\" data-via=\"twitter account\">Tweet<\/a><script type=\"text\/javascript\" src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\"><\/script> <\/div><div id=\"teoTwFollow\" >\r\n\t\t<a href=\"http:\/\/twitter.com\/twitter account\" class=\"twitter-follow-button\" data-show-count=\"false\" data-width=\"150px\">Follow<\/a>\r\n\t\t<script src=\"http:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" type=\"text\/javascript\"><\/script> <\/div><div id='teo2Yahoo'><a alt='send to yahoo messenger' href='ymsgr:im?+&amp;msg=La Boqueria Market: Color and Contrast  https:\/\/ilahm.com\/?p=251'><img src='http:\/\/ilahm.com\/wp-content\/plugins\/post2ymess\/post2ymess.png'><\/a><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was in one of my morning walks that I discovered a market so vividly colorful.
