Brimming with colors and flavors, the Barcelona market brings together restaurants and merchants for the delight of all. Those who come to venture there for a simple walk or to fill their basket will find a gourmet visit rich in diversity, a must-see at the Bordeaux border. In France, .Only the Marché des Enfants Rouges appears in the ranking and is in 8th position.
