This is Part 2 of my series about a famous food market called Mercat St Josep La Boqueria, that I visited over the summer in Barcelona, Spain.  This is the most unbelievably colorful market you will ever see! I couldn't stop taking photos of the many, many beautiful stalls of fruits, vegetables, dried fruts, nuts, fish, and seafood!! So I wanted to share the rest of this incredible experience with you.

This article contains photos of the unbelievable fish and seafood.   (Part 1,  which focused on the fruits, vegetables, dried fruits, and nuts, can be found HERE .) 

Enjoy!

                          Have you ever seen such beautiful fish and seafood?!!

 (There is so much "tangerine" color in these photos, that I had to post it to Rainbow Connection-Colorful Competitions~Tangerine!!)
