While I am not able to bike this week, I can still drive, so yesterday we 
went to a fruit-and-veg market in El Campello, less than 5 km from our home. 
It is held every Thursday and Sunday, and it is totally non-posh?just a few 
stands in a large parking lot. Most of the produce is locally grown, and 
while it does not always look supermarket-perfect, it tastes better and is 
far cheaper than the plastic-wrapped variety. Four images follow.

One of the bigger stands:

Tomatoes and pears. After ten years in Spain, when I travel to other 
countries and eat tomatoes there, what strikes me is that they do not smell 
like tomatoes at all! Not even in California.

Green and leafy, plus some carrots:

There are also some non-food stands, like this one, selling fake Barcelona 
football shirts:

The real thing costs at least 10 times as much as this.

Cheers,
Nathan
