iHola!! Spaniola ! Fresh Prawns Pan Fry
Guess what? Last week, we had been to Spain for Vacation. We visited places around Barcelona city and enjoyed the famous Spanish architectures. This week, all my posts going to be little information about the places we have visited and definitely some special recipes.
La Ramblas is a long 1.5 Km shopping street in Barcelona which has a lot of shops, a few museums, Restaurants, and the La Boqueria market. This market is famous for its fresh Mediterranean seafood, spices, Fresh Juices, chocolates, meat shops, fruit stalls, and vegetable shops. You can see the pictures at the end of this post, to get a feel of the market. We visited this market and I could not just pass through without buying any seafood. Since we had a plan of site seeing that day, On our last day of stay in Barcelona we went to this market and I picked up some fishes, prawns and a Crab and cooked them at home. It was a feast for all of us. Since we stayed in a vacation apartment in the city, it was just comfortable for us to decide to go out for a restaurant or stay at home and enjoy the home food.
- Prawns – 1Kg ( clean the prawns and include only the meat)
- Onion – 1/2 kg

La Boqueria Market pictures:
Inside the market, you can get fresh juice for 1.50 Euros.
Not only in this market, all over the city there were many fruit shops with all kinds of fruits.
Eye-catchy Candy Stalls. Check the prices before buying…I felt it was a bit expensive.
My daughter was just not moving away from the candy stall until she got one.
Fish stalls
Fish stalls had a good collection of all kinds of seafood fresh from the Mediterranean sea.
