La Boqueria: Barcelona, Spain the world’s best fresh market

The Mercat de La Boqueria (Boqueria Market) is the most popular of the many food markets in Barcelona. The market hall at the Rambla de Sant Josep often attracts large crowds, both locals and tourists.The name of the market presumably stems from the word boc (goat), since goat meat was sold here as early as in the 13th century.
