The Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, usually referred to as simply “La Boqueria,” is a not-so-hidden gem in Barcelona. Located just off of Las Ramblas, this market is a few minutes’ walk from Plaza Catalunya. Here, lunch is only a few dollars. Grab a jamón sandwich, or a freshly squeezed juice and salad or empanada for the equivalent of five to seven dollars, or even less!
What are some dishes that I should make sure to try in Spain? Do you have any recommendations for restaurants?
Definitely go get tapas (try it all!), paella, sangria, and jamón sandwiches (at La Boquería). El Drac de Sant Jordi is an inexpensive tapas bar in the Gothic Quarter that I loved!
