For fresh vegetables, fruit, meat, fish, preserved meats, and cheese as well as frozen products the Barcelonetta fresh market is superb. It is a new purpose-built market and is clean, and closer as well as cheaper than the famous Boqueria market on La Rambla which tends to fill with tourists. It is closed Sundays and every afternoon at about 3 pm. Built into one end of the Barcelonetta market is a good grocery store (Appearances are deceptive, most of the groceries are out of sight - take the elevators on the right). The grocery store is open much later than the market. Around the market are several specialist shops selling Bread, Eggs, Preserves etc.
