La Boqueria began as a traveling open-air market outside of the gates of the old city wall known as Pla de la Boqueria, a place where local farmers and traders would sell their fruits and vegetables. These types of markets were often set up outside the city walls because they were too large, and were created to attract as many passersby as possible. Today, this market has grown much larger and now resides in an enclosed space that features a wide variety of stalls offering goods and services. These include charcuterie, meat, poultry game and eggs, seafood, ready meals, and dry fruits. CNN named La Boqueria best market in the world.
