Barcelona Things to Do

The Spanish know how to live. They take such joy in life and one of the reasons, I think, is the food. Is it cause or effect? I don’t know. But when you head into a marketplace in Spain you understand why they take such joy in eating – because they have such wonderful and abundant foods with which to prepare meals.

One of my top 3 favorite flea markets in the world (the others are in Brussels and Berlin), the bustling Mercat del Encants is always worth the trip! The bustling aisles of bric-a-brac and outright junk are endlessly intriguing, with an eclectic mix of people looking for their own particular treasure.
