El Mercat de St Josep de la Boqueria

La Boqueria is a big open air, sort of, market. There is a big roof that covers pretty much the whole thing. Inside you can buy everything, today we bought some items for a picnic and walked over to the Ciutadella Park. It's quickly becoming a default picnic spot. Our goal for the picnic food was ham, brie and bread and maybe also wine. Most were accomplished but after seeing entire slaughtered pigs we felt like we should skip the buying of meat. Our brie decision turned out very much in our favor as we got like half a wheel of brie for three euro. And on with the photos......

What????
Yeah no idea!

I visited the CCCB, can't remember what that stands for buts its like a contemporary art center in Barcelona, and this was the front desk you walk down under this really fancy building into this giant warehouse like lobby and theres a tiny desk. I of course fail to capture the feeling of this lobby but here it is anyways. Mainly this is for my walker peoples, enjoy!

  3. That market is breath taking! Not sure how expensive international mailings are, but that scrumptious hedgehog would be the best thing to help me through this godforsaken cold.

    Miss you!
