I love La Boqueria but the lighting always bedevils my photos (not to mention the masses of people and a husband rolling his eyes and saying “come ON!” as he walks off!!). Glad you got to see Trig too.

Jamon Iberico de belotta is possibly my favourite thing in all the world.

i found the boqueria way too packed to enjoy more than a few minutes wandering around, next time i’ll definitely go during the week rather than on a saturday. for that reason i think i prefer the english market as it’s just easier to get around.
great blog and congrats on your top ten!

I am especially curious about checking out their tapas bars:)

Next time if you set aside an evening I’ll take you somewhere really special to eat. You can see now why just about every chef in town sources their produce from the Boqueria. What’s really amazing is that we have other great food markets in town, including Sant Antoni and the new Santa Catarina. Both of these have the advantage of relatively few tourists, but equally great produce.

I love the fact that the Spanish are not scared of allowing their meat to look like the animal it came from. Imagine pigs heads in a butcher in the UK? (there are plenty more things I can describe, but I won’t offend your readers)

I must get you over to Rioja and Bilbao’s markets some day. Maybe we could organise a UK food & wine bloggers trip?
