Perfumes, flavors and colors of Barcelona

Do you enjoying buying things in markets? Do you like its special atmosphere? Are you a gourmet? If yes, this is your tour!

My grandmother used to sell watermelons and melons in la Rambla, nearby the Boqueria. When she told me this story, it was the first time I heard about this market, the most famous in Barcelona.

La Boqueria is one of the oldest markets in the city. The place was buzzing with activity when its actual location was just a field near the citywall. Afterwards, by the growing of the city, more markets were built as the Concepció, the Llibertat or the Abaceria. This walk proposes to make an approach to the history of Barcelona through the taste, the colours and the perfumes of its markets. Barcelona and the 5 senses!
