When you walk in it has that mixture of smells that you know you're absolutely repulsed by and at the same time thrilled to smell. You know everything in there is fresh; the fruit is fresh, the fish is fresh, the vegetables are diverse and look just picked, and the cheese is amazing. The charcuterie is like a fantasy! This market even has plants for sale as well as flowers and a few additional outlying products. When you walk up to a stall, it's not guaranteed that you're going to get a smile or a happy, "How are you?" But it is guaranteed that you will get good service. Selling the product is the name of the game here. I fully believe that if you are ever in barcelona and you come by this market you should absolutely stop in and see what it's all about. It's one of those rare places that you will be extremely glad that you saw and you'll think about later in life even if you don't buy anything, it's worth a look.

We decided to check out this market because it was a 5-minute walk from where we were staying. It's…read morea much smaller market than Boqueria. Unlike Boqueria, there aren't that many vendors selling cooked foods/tapas/snacks. Instead, it seemed more like a place where locals did their food shopping. We picked up some strawberries, so this is a good spot to pick up some fresh fruit. There's also a supermarket downstairs. They sell flowers and plants out front, and while I definitely didn't need any flowers, it was still nice to just look at them. If you're staying nearby and want to experience some local vibes, you should check it out. Otherwise, it's probably not worth going out of your way for if you're not looking to buy groceries. Note - they're closed Sundays.

At Vins Xic Gourmet, their wine selection in the back room is especially good (see photos here & on their Facebook page). If you happen to find yourself staying on Carrer de Casp (which we did), this is a good neighborhood gourmet food place to visit, for just about anything you might need. The owner is also very nice & friendly ^_^

Good selection, fresh produce, it was a good store, decent prices. I think they must have expanded into several buildings because you'd turn a corner and then there was another 90° turn in another direction with more stuff ! It was pretty cool exploring their space. They also had one of those European flat ground escalators that could take a shopping cart up and down as the store was two levels. I didn't need any help, but there were plenty of employees, stocking shelves, etc.

It is a wholesome kind of place that tries to make you feel like you're one of the family partaking in homemade, hand-made goodies. In each of their pastries you get a real sense that they love what they do and the bread is all the more better for it. For example, their logo is a heart with a wheat stalk through it. When you walk into their bakery, the welcoming aromas of coffee and fresh baked bread is enough to make you want to taste everything. We opted for multiple croissants including their sesame, plain, and pistachio. We also ordered their version of the cronut and some donut holes to go. I have to say everything was very good. Light, airy, and crispy. I'd recommend giving it a try and taking some goodies to go while you explore the rest of Barcelona. Yelp 100 Challenge 105/100 !

This Veritas is a bit larger than many and offers quite a nice variety of vegan/ vegetarian options. They also have a great selection of organic meats and fish, as well as some prepared foods. Like most organic markets, you pay for the quality of food, so while it's not cheap, it's not overpriced.

It was decent white wine. nothing earth shattering - but pleasant for an afternoon picnic in the park. it's a cute little neighborhood convenience store - bigger than a 7-11, but smaller than a caprabo. with a decent variety.

If you're Catalan and you're looking for food that you can only find in America this is also your deal. Great selection of Candy (like Nerds and Reese's) along with special holiday items, and cake mixes, baking supplies, barbecue sauce, chocolate chips, baking pans, pastries, sodas, tortilla chips, maple syrup, etc. The people at the counter are pretty nice, which is good. The food is a little expensive, but being imported there's not much you can change about that. In a really nice neighborhood, on a pretty busy street, right near the ferrocarrils, so it's pretty simple to get here. Awesome stop!
