About La Boqueria

The Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria, regularly essentially alluded to as La Boqueria, is a huge open market in the Ciudad Vieja area of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain, and one of the city's first vacationer points of interest, with a passage from La Rambla, not a long way from the Liceo, Barcelona's musical drama house.

The market has an exceptionally differing determination of merchandise. From December 1470 onwards, a pig showcase was held at this site right now it was known as Mercadi Bornet.

Afterward, until 1794, it was referred to just as Mercat de la Palla, or straw market.

In the first place, the market was not encased and had no official status, being viewed just as an augmentation of the Plaza Nueva showcase, which reached out to the Plaza del Pino.

The present name is accepted to get from the Catalan box, signifying "goat", in this manner a Boqueria would be where goat meat is sold.
