10 October 2025 Barcelona: Market for Omar's Ingredients

 



We started our day by visiting the second market in town.  The biggest market is near the Ramblas and is jam packed with tourists.  This market was more of a local market and it suited our needs.  Omar was getting ingredients for a bean and chorizo soup and this market had everything we needed.  We dropped off the goodies, started the soup and then headed back out.  We stopped in at a very extensive curio shop where everyone found something to their liking but not to their budget.  Then we continued megandering and came upon the main market.  It was so busy that we vetoed a visit after going in past the first stalls.

The use of tile on the roof is brilliant

Lovely banner, shawl, wrap



These peppers are extra sexy


Extra decorations on the balconies


I believe that this is an old palace turned into a museum
