]]> La Boqueria BarcelonaLa Rambla is the kilometer long iconic street in the center of Barcelona. It’s usually full of tourists walking down the street, watching the street performers, stopping in cafes or checking out market stalls. Cafes and restaurants located on La Rambla are, obviously, not really budget-friendly. Most of them are tourist traps.

So when your stomach starts rumbling and your pockets aren’t deep enough for those establishments, you can:

  • head out to the Born market in the La Ribera district. It’s near Museu Picasso.
  • look for family-run restaurants off La Rambla.
  • head for Mercat dela Boqueria which you can find half-way along La Rambla. There are small bars where you can get cheap eats, if you are not so finnicky about eating in markets. It’s a great cultural experience, as well. Just make sure you take care of your wallet, though. Pickpockets abound.

Oh yea… if you are going to walk along La Rambla, I suggest starting from Plaza de Catalunya and walk towards the sea. The art museums, galleries will be on the right side, the Raval district. The Barri Gotic will be on your left.
