We visited this covered open air market on our last day in Barcelona before boarding our cruise…read moreship. Our tour guide the previous day advised us to wait until around 10-1030 before arriving to ensure vendors were open. We heeded his advice and yet 1/3 of the stalls were either still setting up or had not yet arrived so be aware of this when visiting. The area has plenty of space for lots to walk and gather, though there isn't much space to sit down and eat. There are a plethora of food stalls, fresh juices, sweets, meats and more. We wandered up and down each aisle stopping when we saw something interesting. We tried pastries, olives, tacos, candies and flavored salts. This was a great spot to pick up gifts for people back home.

The famous Mercat La Boqueria! Came here to check it out…read moresince I didn't get the chance to go last time I was in Barcelona. Many of the stalls inside closed up already by the time I visited, ~5pm. There's a bunch of stalls selling pretty much the same things: seafood, fried seafood, jamon, fresh fruit, fruit juices, and empanadas. We ended up trying raw oysters, 10€ for 4 & chose half salted & half unsalted. I personally preferred the unsalted one though it was brinier. I heard great things about their fresh fruit juices. If I didn't already grab a couple sugary drinks before visiting, I would've totally try some!

Prices are great and the fresh options you need will be endless! Come in the morning as not all the vendors re-open after siesta. Not alot of English is spoken here so come prepared with your google translation. LOL!

I am not sure if it's cheap from a Barcelona perspective, but i thought the items we bought were pretty cheap when compared to how much we would pay in NYC.
