Piles of exotic or out of season fruit glisten as you walk past, tempting you with their taste. Fresh smoothies, and baked goods also draw in the unexperienced tourist. If you buy the first thing you see you will be wasting your money. In order find affordable and still delicious foods you have to be willing to walk through the maize like design of La Boqueria.
The Boqueria is unlike any other market. The layout of the market is centered around the fish section with aisles of fruit, vegetables, meat and cheese branching off of it. The closer a fruit stand is to the fish the cheeper it is going to be. When buying a fish, it is important to buy one that still has its head and eyes intact. Without the head it is much harder to determine how fresh the fish is because the head is always the first to wrought. The architecture has a 19th century design of glass and iron, referencing the industrial revolution.
