Midway down on the Raval side, the Modernismé stain glass entrance to the Mercat de Sant Josep (La Boquería) is visible. Arguably Spain’s greatest open-air market, the Boqueria is lined with stall after stall offering fresh seafood, meats, vegetables, produce and confectionaries. Most vendors are more than happy to allow you to sample the goods. Bars and small grills line the perimeter. Kiosko Universal, in the corner to the right of the entrance, is a working-class café-booth with stools to sit on and choose from an assortment of meats and fresh seafood just waiting to be tossed on the grill.
