Xmas like a local in Barcelona 🇪🇸🎄

#christmas2023 Wherever you go, always go where the locals go for the most authentic experiences. The same applies for Christmas markets in Europe! In Barcelona, Spain, La Boqueria Market (Mercat in Catalan) has the most extensive, recorded history, dating back to 1217. La Boqueria is where many hotels and restaurants get the freshest produce from each morning. It's a lively place that opens from 8am to 8.30pm, and is the go-to place for locals. Expect to treat your senses to a feast: Colorful and delicious chocolates and sweets, as well as fresh fruit juice A variety of bars that start serving drinks from as early as 8am! Dozens of eateries featuring fresh breakfast and lunch options Various freshly cut cured ham, meats, and cheeses that you can enjoy with different wines Many seafood stalls that sell both fresh seafood and separate cooked seafood menus for you to enjoy While there, don't forget to try many kinds of Christmas drinks, like mulled wine and hot chocolate. The huge Christmas tree at the entrance also makes for an awesome photo background. My tip would be to go there early in the morning when the market has just come to life, and is less busy. Do note that in the evening, large groups of more than 10 might be denied entry at a single time. Otherwise, wear comfortable shoes, warm clothing, and have tons of fun! address: Rambla, 91 08001 Barcelona #spain #barcelona
