I'm not a great traveler, but I've seen similar things on France and Italy.
Do you mean "La boqueria"?
Yes, that's the place. THAT should be one of the wonders of the world, and I do not exaggerate.
I find that Italy really appreciates good food and they make great food in their homes, but not so much part of the culture to eat out like the Spanish. I remember in Barcelona, the lunch places were jam-packed with locals. It was quite a scene. The quality of the French food I found to be extremely high. I mean, you could get a sandwich out of a vending machine there and it would probably be the best sandwich you ever ate. Apparently the French citizenry is very demanding when it comes to food. But there again, the eating out scene for lunch seems to be nowhere close to Spain. They did however have some amazing open local markets.
