much in my childhood I remember the taste of my parents to visit the public market in Merida and the pain felt when the old market was demolished and moved to the modern mass today update knowledge, "lost all its charm" repeated my dad. Obviously I did not understand how that dark and smelly thing could have some meaning for my parents, or at least I perceived him as a child. How could this place instead prefer to shop in supermarkets clean and bright? Well, now I understand.
Well, yes, since I started in the culinary world of the things that I enjoy doing when I travel is to go to markets and Barcelona was no exception!
In Barcelona there were four that caught my attention, each with its specific charm. The first The Mercat de L'Abaceria Central met him on arrival as I did my first breakfast there in a great position, family and fun where they prepare all the dishes of the Catalan quintessential English. Tortilla snacks, chistorras, eggs, baked artichokes, snails and beer, lots of beer.
After breakfast history was repeated in the Mercat de la Llibertat, also in the Barrio de Gracia, made wonderful fish and seafood, cheeses, sausages, meats and one dedicated solely to eggs! What Wonder!
El Mercat de Santa Caterina , something beyond! Reduntant products would write, the quality of everything that is in the markets of Barcelona is excellent, the beauty of this market is the recently restored ceiling by the famous architect Enric Miralles who printed the modernist label that characterizes all the city. It is impossible to stop there and not in its beautiful and cozy restaurant Cuines of Santa Caterina with its bars Mediterranean, vegetarian, Asian, tapas and sushi, make it difficult to choose what to eat! Welcoming and enveloping, this market has one of the first places in the ranking of the foods you enjoy.
Finally, the highlight of the markets in Barcelona, \u200b\u200bor at least
the best known La Boqueria. Is the one that most resembles what we know as a market, conveniently located in the middle down Las Ramblas, makes him always full of tourists curious about the wonders found there. What I like this market? positions of chocolates, nuts, thousands of styles and candied fruits, however there is also a very curious position that combines the exotic fruits of the world, which a lot are very familiar to this side of Ecuador. The traditional rice dishes and regional food I think they can be very rich there, only we will have to be patient because the posts always very full. 
Four were selected this time, but if you walk around Barcelona will have more than three dozen markets to meet, but more importantly, where you go, the cuisine and culinary traditions are sure to be appreciated and better known in the markets, so do not stop visit on your next destination.
