Photography note: the lighting is a mix of fluorescent and incandescent, which makes color-balancing

Mercat de Sant Josep de la Boqueria is a cavernous 19th-century Art-Nouveau-ish structure just off Las Ramblas, on a site which has been a market since the 13th century. According to Wikipedia uster , it has housed mainly fishmongers and butchers since at least 1826 (hence my warning at the beginning of the post.) We dashed through around 5 in the afternoon, gathering ingredients for that night’s dinner (and snapping photos while discussing menu options.) Many of the booths uster had already closed, but several fruit stands and a handful of butchers and fishmongers were still open.
In the end we decided it had been a long day and no one wanted to cook, so we bought bags full of ripe fruit (cherries, figs, peaches, and watermelon), sausages rolled in rosemary, manchego cheese, and an assortment of savory pastries that we cut up and served as tapas.
Photography note: the lighting is a mix of fluorescent and incandescent, which makes color-balancing the photos a nightmare. I was rushed, so had to spend a lot of time fixing color in Lightroom. If you go, leave plenty of time so you can pay attention to the light sources! My best tip is one I picked up from one of the ten-year-old boys traveling with us – he showed me the shots he had taken on his Dad’s iPhone, all, obviously, at a ten-year-old’s eye level. He was looking right into the fishes’ mouths! I totally stole his viewpoint for some of these shots. Thanks, Gabriel! Uncategorized 4 Comments Post navigation
