Fresh fruit, veggies, meat, eggs, fish...all over the place! The new thing is fresh juice in individual cups for 1 euro -- lots of fun combos, so take lots of coins. Toward the middle-lower end of Las Ramblas, it makes for a fun stopping place. Watch your purse/wallet -- this area does get crowded, and with so many distracted people... more

All sorts of market shops in here selling everything to seafood, meat and jamon, produce, spices, nuts and candy. I'm especially impressed with the variety of zumos (fresh fruit juices) and pre-cut fruit available ready to eat. A couple of bar-type eateries are available to sample the "catch" of the day. more

I am a huge foodie, so this was like heaven. All the beautiful colors, displays, smells...heaven! There are places to pay for full takeaway meals-even one stand for organic vegetarians! There's wine stands, candy stands, fruit and vegetables, fish and meats-bakeries-just great. Feel free to take pictures, but it gets busy-watch for pickpockets, although we had no trouble here. more

City markets give you great insights into the way a city's citizens live and this must be one of the great food markets in the world. The array of food stalls is astounding and the food is just beautiful. While locals shop there every day, as a tourist... more

Go on your first morning ... you may want to go back every day. Wonderful produce, fish, etc., etc. etc. Have a coffee and pastry at one of the stands and just soak in the atmosphere and the scene. I've never been anywhere like it. more

If you love food, this is a must on your list to visit. The market is bustling with people and merchants. From the moment you enter the market there is much to desire. We ate at one of the lunch counters in the back of the market and enjoyed a great seafood platter. However, be prepared to wait! it is... more
