Barcelona... our first adventure!!
As we welcomed this amazing city in our 10 hour tired jet lagged lap, we were unbelievably underestimating what city were about to take on. As a home cook and a foodie, to my delight I was pleasantly surprised to open my balcony window up to one of the most famous food markets in the world...St Josep’s Boqueria. As surreal as it was, I tried my best to take each aisle in stride, not eating everything in sight. One piece of sound advice, your eyes might be bigger than your belly, so meander and look at each stalls. What we found at the start of when the market opens compared to the peak hours, prices change so be mindful of what you want and go back, get that item with no regret. If you get lucky to see the market wake, your heart and memory box will
as well!! Stand still, listen to the merchants calling out, vendors talking amongst colleagues, that’s the heartbeat of this market. Simple reminder, don’t try to get adventitious on a typical Sunday, the merchants want a day off,the markets closes. There are alternatives Sant Antoni Mercat but we didn’t have a chance to venture to with limited tune & so many stones to turn over in Barcelona.Trust me,that stone untouched,will create the stories and make the memories for you and your fellow traveler..
