La Boqueria

As promised last week, a few snapshots of the famous La Boqueria, an amazing food market in the heart if the Barrio Gothic in Downtown Barcelona. I was told It's gotten too touristy, but we still loved it!

Walking (my feet off!) in Barcelona gives little opportunity to look up, as there are so many interesting things to look at in every other direction. Although I stopped for a moment a couple of times to explore the tops of tiny courtyards, narrow labyrinth-like streets of the Gothic District, or beautiful architecture of some of the Barcelona's boulevards, like Avinguda Diagonal, about ten-kilometer long artery cutting the city in half.
Also, a little sneak peek of the La Boqueria - the old food market of downtown BCN.

A very random selection of Barcelona's storefront shots. Some are closed, some show a little bit of interior, or contrast between what's inside and the shops surrounding. A few very nice art nouveau pharmacies, that still operate in their original shops. Really something to look at.
