The history of this place is the following.
There was this noble who had promised he would help the King of Castilla to regain the city of Almeira, which had fallen in the hands of the arabs.
It was not an easy task, but at the end Alemira was again under Castillan control, and, just as a souvenir, since at that time there were scarcity of postcards, this noble decided to take the most beautiful door which the arabs had put in Almeira at the entrance of the city.
This door was an exquisite product of the arabesque art and when local folks in Barcelona went to view it, they all remained with their mouths open. "Boca" is the Spanish and Catalan word for mouth, hence the name Boqueria.
The place were this door was shown to the locals was, guess what (!), the actual market of Boqueria!
Nice eh!
