Binging in Barcelona






             Story & Photography by Kitty Morse

                 Be forewarned before you step into La Boqueria,
             Barcelona’s historic, binge-inducing public market: Go
             hungry, zip up your pockets, and hang on to your
             iPhone. But don’t miss it!
                 IfollowedthatadviceonarecenttriptoBarcelona,
             and La Boqueria proved to be one of the highlights of
             my visit. Strangely, I almost missed the small recessed
             plaza that marks the entrance to this city landmark, lo-
             cated just off Las Ramblas, Barcelona’s renowned tree-
             shaded pedestrian thoroughfare. My meanderings
             were blocked first by a youngster licking an ice cream
             cone topped with the largest chocolate covered straw-
             berry I have ever seen, then by a man biting into a
             chicken satay. When an inattentive woman fingering a
             fried calamari ring bumped into me, I decided to inves-
             tigate the source of these delicacies. I veered off Las
             Ramblas, dodged a number of gluttons posing for
             selfies, and crossed the plaza into La Boqueria.
