This colourful market in the centre of Las Ramblas offers everything a gourmet wishes: fresh fish, fruits, meat, and bread is piled up to the rooftop of the beautiful covered market. It is also a good place to try traditional Barcelona food as many stalls in the middle of the market sell original dishes to take away.
