I stayed in Barcelona for 1 week for a convention and lived in a small hotel off the Paseo de las Ramblas. Unfortunately, I discovered the market on my penultimate day as it seemed to be closed on the weekend or I hit some strange holiday as I had not seen it previous. Everything was just gorgeous and it was all i could do not blow my pasalubong budget. But as it was the 1st leg of my trip, I settled for the cured/aged meats and sweets. But I bought fresh cherries. =) I LOVE La Boqueria! I stayed in Barcelona for 1 week for a convention and lived in a small hotel off the Paseo de las Ramblas.

We found it to the most expensive of the Spanish cities! Imagine, eating Chinese ( I know you'll cringe but we just had to take a break from tapas at that time!) and spending 35 Euros just for 2 persons! Geez! That said, Barcelona's such a fun city eh? The Catalans are just outrageous! MM,

Also, we saved on meals by preparing many of them ourselves... though actually Barcelona/Spain was generally the CHEAPEST of all of the European cities we visited... kulasa, you are right, this was a special market indeed.
