Saturday Morning Post: City Markets Barcelona Edition

I remember the wonders of the first European city market I visited. It was the Central Market in Florence Italy. I fell in love with the variety and quality; and that each vendor specialized in one product type.  Some of the vendors are producers, most are not, but they know the farms and suppliers intimately.  There are a few of these left in the United States, the Reading Terminal Market in Philly, the West Side Market in Cleveland, the Eastern Market in Detroit to name a few.  When you have a chance explore them.  

We visited three major city markets on the recent trip, Tenerife, Barcelona, and Nimes, and a couple of smaller neighborhood markets.  I also like visiting local grocery stores, with the Gite rental we became regulars at Super U and Aldi.  

The market in Barcelona was heavy on seafood and meats.  I could live across the street and cook out of here until my dying day. 

The hands of a master, trimming to perfection.
