In fact Teresa M. Vilarós comments on its comeback in the article “A Cultural Mapping of Catalonia,” saying that Catalan culture’s “present vibrancy cannot but be amazing” (1995: 45). One place to find the vibrancy of the culture, specifically food culture, is the Boquería. Robert Hughes discussed the area in his book Barcelona: The Great Enchantress, writing that “for any serious lover of food … there is no other place in the world quite like the Boquería” (2004: 74). The market features non-food items, all kinds of exotic food, and of course a large collection of fish. No matter what direction a person looks, fish is always in sight making the odor strong. In fact fish is so important to the Catalan way of life that a “[Fish Laboratory] was founded” in a local park in the city of Barcelona (Hochadel and Valls 2016: 38). The vendors in the market are friendly and willing to help customers find and get what they need. The Boquería is large and it is possible to spend an entire day looking at everything. One can even get lost in the maze of vendors because of how large it is. While getting in and out of the market is tough it is worth a stop because it is a good place to try local food. The experience of going in and seeing this renowned market is unlike any other. � Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.
