Must Try
The cigrons amb botifarra (chickpeas with blood sausage) is the signature. Baby squid. Whatever Juanito or his team recommend. Point at what looks good.
Best Time
Early morning when the market opens (8am) to grab a counter seat. Midday is chaotic. The magic is in the morning energy.
Know Before You Go
Juanito Bayen has run this counter for 70+ years - he's a Barcelona institution. Counter seating only, 8 stools. In the front of La Boqueria market. Tourist-surrounded but authentic. Come hungry, point at things, trust them.
