Famous food Markets in Barcelona Capital and Catalunya
Historic & famous food markets in central Barcelona and neighbourhood markets with an interesting story & are architecturally pleasing
Description of Food markets in Barcelona Capital & Catalunya
Food markets are an important part of Catalan life. Catalunya has supermarkets of course, but people prefer to eat fresh and seasonal food so the markets play a key role in the neighbourhoods when searching for fresh natural products.
Here I have added the food markets that have been recently refurbished and are fantastic, cathedral like covered spaces as well as the most famous food market in Barcelona, La Boqueria.
For food lovers and amateur (or professional chefs) consider a guided tour of a food market and cooking lessons from a local expert to hone your Catalan and Spanish cuisine skills. In the tickets section you will find a short list of the best cooking classes and market food tours in Barcelona.
