> Barcelona’s famous market, La Boqueria, was voted the best in the world by Food & Wine magazine last month Lol. La Boqueria is a total tourist trap now. There's nothing great or genuine about it anymore. It's great for overpriced smoothies, dick waffles and getting your wallet stolen. The local markets in each barrio are fine though. They're still busy. People have less time to chat but business still goes on. It will change, sure. Younger people have less time to wait. We have more exotic food interests. Probably some of the markets will close but some will remain. It's not a huge deal IMO. Just the change of the times. In my neighborhood there's also a place where a vaqueria used to be. A place where live cows were sold. I'm sure people lamented when that closed. But if it had still been there it would have been a nuisance. Cows on the streets going in and out. Cow dung everywhere. In the middle of the city. And what for? I don't usually buy live cows for my tiny apartment. The world changes. It's ok.
