Public market in Barcelona
The first mention of Boqueria market in Barcelona dates from 1217. The tables were installed near the old city gate to sell meat. In the beginning market had no official status. In 1835 it was decided to build official structure. It was officially opened in 1840.
La Boqueria has an entrance from La Rambla and it's one of the most exciting attractions for tourists, especially, food lovers. Being one of 10 best street markets in the world, La Boqueria includes a variety of fruit, vegetables, fresh seafood and sweet in lots of market stalls.
There is an exiting atmosphere in La Boqueria caused by colourful and flavorful stalls, kind and helpful sellers and surprised visitors enjoying pleasant shopping.
I've never been in as big market as La Boqueria and I don't think we have something like this in Lithuania, so it was really impressing.
