Everyone loves a good market when they visit a foreign country. The Boqueria market in Barcelona may have as many tourists as locals these days, but it's still a great place to explore.

In addition to the expected array of fresh vegetables and cuts of meat you'd only feed to your dog, there are a few small bars to sample a glass of wine with a tapa or two.

Of course, most of the produce available here requires a kitchen to fully appreciate, something most tourists don't have access to.

So a popular option for visitors to the city is to take a salad or a fresh fruit juice. But beware! The juices at the stall at the main entrance are double the price of the ones just a few stands away.
