A Visit to the Barcelona Market
I love markets. The vibrant colors. The different products. The scents and the whole tactile experience. The little samples stallholders hand out. The freshness of it all. Barcelona has a brilliant market, just off La Rambla, the wide thoroughfare in the central city....
