Let’s start with the truth, everyone talks about La Boquería Market, But it is to say that in Barcelona the market business is incredibly large and in comparison with costs and services The Boquería does not take the first place at all. So, let’s find out about other potential Markets.

#3. CENTRO CULTURAL DEL BORN
A historical center that is now one of the most relevant Markets in Barcelona. Started as the market of La Ribera, later in 1921, it became the Central Market for Fruits & Vegetables. There was even a period when it was closed, and many citizens though to demolish it. When doing its demolition, archaeological sites of its medieval past were found. That’s why today is recognized as an important cultural center.
