La Boqueria

Posted on March 11, 2011 at 8:04 pm by Irene

While Barcelona is littered with incredible museums, nightclubs, cathedrals, libraries and historic squares, I spent the majority of my time meandering through one of the most famous food markets in the world: La Boqueria. It’s filled with aromatic hams, perfectly aged Spanish cheeses, fruits of unimaginable colors, pastries made with pork fat and sugar, eggs of all shapes, sizes and colors and the most diverse selection of fish I have ever seen, butchered mainly by women wielding enormous and very sharp knives. If we all had access to this heavenly market on a daily basis, we’d be driven to cook at home seven nights a week.
