Is La Boqueria Market worth it as a couple?

At opening, the metal shutters rise, coffee lands on counters and the market still belongs to people buying ingredients. By late morning the front becomes a slow river of phones and takeaway fruit, while the deeper aisles remain more purposeful. Come hungry, choose one counter rather than grazing indiscriminately and leave before the crush makes every stall feel interchangeable. The market is vivid enough without pretending it is untouched by tourism.
