La Boqueria is one of Barcelona’s traditional markets. Food and short conversations offer a way into the life of the city.

Mini-dialogue

¿Cuánto cuesta un kilo?

Practice phrase: “¿Cuánto cuesta un kilo?” — “How much is a kilo?” Say it aloud, then try answering in your own words.

Try it yourself

Picture a stall with three familiar products. Invent their prices and practise asking how much they cost in Spanish.
