Barcelona, Spain is one of the hottest foodie destinations on Earth. Full of Michelin-starred restaurants, street food, and chefs that prepare some of the best bites you’ll find anywhere, Barcelona is ready to be discovered by gastronomy lovers. Check out these three food markets if you are a foodie who plans to head to Barcelona.

La Boqueria

The most iconic food market in Barcelona is La Boqueria, a spot that offers up something for everyone. In the middle of the Ciutat Vella, you will find both gastro bars and vendors selling fresh produce and delicacies from around the country and the world at this bustling spot.

Sant Antoni

While most tourists flock to La Boqueria, many a Barcelona native will tell you that the Sant Antoni Market is basically the same thing without the crowds. This spacious building built in 1882 is full of the scents of fresh meat, fish, produce, and veggies.

Mercat de la Concepció

The Mercat de la Concepció near the Eixample neighborhood in the heart of Barcelona is where you need to head if you want to do your own cooking while in the city. Small, cozy, and full of locals, you won’t miss out on any fresh ingredients you might need at this charming market.
