One of the things that pops up with startling regularity in the Candy tag is a candy vendor at the Mercat la Boqueria in Barcelona, Spain. So I did a quick search and found more than a smattering of them (well here are 48 at least):
Has anyone ever shopped at this market or bought anything there? How much are those gummis?
Hi!
I live in Barcelona, and watching some of this photos, I think these cansys are the same that are sell in any shop where they sell candys. I mean, most of them are the common candys that we eat here.
And… maybe are not the best quality, but I like them! hehehe
If I have the chance to go to the Boqueria I will take a look on it.
Hey! I just live in Barcelona too, and Bea is all right, these kind of gummis are very, very common here, and we have lots of candy shops where you can find it, they are not like Dylan’s Candy (NY) but it’s worth it! All of you just must come amd visit!!!
g - San Francisco is great for chocolate ... there are still a few places that I haven’t tried yet.
Sera - I’m sure there are quite a few of us sweet-toothed photographer types (who like to share as much as view).
Kixx - there are definitely some in those piles I’ve never seen before, and of course they’re so pretty.
Bea - yes, I’m sure that the appearance of the candy is what’s so attractive. I know that some of the gummis there are quite common and Spain does some really good candies.
Montsinya - I’d love to visit Spain again, especially Barcelona (I did Madrid/Sevilla/Costa del Sol). I hear the food there is phenomenal.
Frank - what is the company? I spent a semester in Spain, went to the movies about once a week, and got gummy candies like these at the candy shops located next to the movie theaters. I would LOVE to be able to buy some of my favorites here in the U.S., especially the ones that are like filled licorice ropes.
I remember getting a small paper bag of these for a couple of dollars, much cheaper than buying candy at the movies here in the U.S.
Frank, VIDAL the Number One? Are you kidding me? Come one! The only tasty thing you company has is the “gummy melon without-melon-taste”, but the other things are only sugar! Don’t joke yourself saying you are the number one, when you’re NOT.
For real candy in Spain you have to look for small companies which most of the times don’t sell outside the country.

I thought I was the only one that endlessly searched through Flickr…..
Oh my - I would be so overwhelmed. I think I would have to get two of everything. One to try and one in case I liked the first one.
