MERCAT DE LA BOQUERIA

One of my favourite places we visited in Barcelona, right near where we stayed off La Rambla. A feast for both the eyes and stomach, these food markets are rich with colour - fruit & veg, lollies, chillies, herbs, spices and preserved fruit are everywhere you turn. After taste-testing Spanish sweets and cheeses, we sat and watched the hustle & bustle go by whilst enjoying fresh fruit salad and juices from the markets. 

Today marked the end of our stay in Barcelona - time to leave sunny Spain, but where to next?

BARCELONA

Sangria, tapas, cerveza, siestas, vino, paella and sunshine. Wintertime in Spain = 19ºC. Beautiful old buildings reaching high above narrow alleyways. Catalonian flags draped over balconies. Groups of footballers zigzagging across the sand, bringing the beach to life, even in Winter. 

Jess & I spent a delicious afternoon with tapas - cheese, chorizo, cheese, roasted tomatoes and capsicums, cheese, chilli and some more cheese. YUM.

Oh, Barcelona! Your delicious food, deceptively alcoholic bevs and winter sunshine have warmed me to the core. Muchas gracias.
