The fresh food market in Barcelona is made up of hundreds of little stalls that have all different kinds of food. Its right in the middle of Las Ramblas and its covered almost European railroad station style. The meat stalls like the one above, have multitudes of chorizos, legs of iberian ham (cured legs of ham similar to prosciutto), and tons of sliced salamis.
The fruit juice stalls have one euro containers of pure deliciosity. They mix all different fruits together. My favorites were pineapple-coconut and mango-coconut.
Tons of fresh fruit, yummy figs.
Beautiful fresh seafood, most of which I had not scene in a good three months, a very welcome sight.
Stands devoted to salt cured and oil cured fishes.
All sorts of cheeses on display ay the cheese stalls. I had a nice and smokey, smoked (surprise) Iberian cheese.
Some of the stalls only sold a single type of mushroom.
An eggery using ostrich eggs as price signs.
They even have chocolate shops!
Many of the stall spaces are taken up by these small petit restaurants that have bar seating all around.
I had to splurge on a slice of the iberian ham in the middle. At 149 euros a kilo, a slice ran about four euros and was well worth it. It was a melt in your mouth mix of muscle and fat that was salty and delectable. The market is a must check out for anyone going to Barcelona.
