Barcelona Day 1

Breakfast in the underground of the hotel

Staying at Hotel Rialto which occupies a historical building where Joan Miro, the famous Spanish artist, was born. We had our buffet breakfast at Rialto's Miro Bar-Restaurant which is located in the underground. Cool, isn't it? It is decorated with stone walls and ceilings. Kinda felt like a dungeon!

La Boqueria Market

Mercat de Sant Josep de La Boqueria

I LOVED this market. Everything was so colorful, attractive, tempting....I wanted to buy it all! 

La Boqueria is located along La Rambla. It dates back to as far as 1217 when it sold meat.  In the Medieval age, this area was a place to keep and sell goats and in Catalan, they call male goats Boc. Anyways, today this market is a happening place with lots of see and experience and buy.
