“Boqueria Market” is a space full of life, history and architectural value. The first of Barcelona’s local markets was opened on Saint Joseph’s day, on the 19th of March 1840, after four years of work on the land that was up until then occupied by Saint Joseph’s convent. However, the history goes back a good few years before, because on the site on La Rambla where the market is today, there were already peddlers selling meat in the thirteenth century. The market officially opened in the same year, but the plans for the building were modified many many times. The inauguration of the structure finally took place in 1853. A new fish market opened in 1911, and the metal roof that still exists today was constructed in 1914. This Market is a space with a magnificent explosion of colors, smells and textures, and high quality products! If you want to try or buy for your family and friends some cured ham (jamón ibérico), sausages, wines... this is the best place to do that.You can not miss La Boqueria Market! Opening time: From Monday to Saturday, from 8 am to 8:30 pm.
