Barcelona is a really nice city to drink sangria, eat fish and seafood in a small restaurant close to the beach or even to enjoy some tapas in some nice place. However, you will probably want to have something healthy and to take some nice pictures of a typical spanish market.
Close to Las Ramblas, El Mercat de la Boqueria is a local market where you will find everything you need. There are four main categories: meat, fruits & seafood & cheese.
This results in a wonderful picture full of colours. You will have the opportunity to buy everything you need to make a nice (standard or fruit) salad, to taste a Jamon Iberico, etc.
As you can see, everything is done so that the clients will feel that they are living a fairy tale. In fact it is actually a healthy version of Willy Wonka's Chocolate factory.
Sellers are also very nice, they really want to give you the best. You can ask them some advice such a ways of cooking veggetables, they will tell you more about the local producers, about how spanish cheeses are made, etc. They are very sympathetic.
Besides, the architecture is worth to visit the place. All around the market, you will meet with roman style columns.
The Mercat de la Boqueria is very central, between Raval & Gotico. In those two districts, here are some of the best flats you can rent or buy:
