Marketing

Valencia’s covered market is one of the oldest and largest still operating in Europe. It’s in a beautiful building featuring stained glass and tiles. And it has real, quality food.

You can’t really visit a market without a target; and, as I wasn’t interested in pigs heads, my target was some mixed nuts for an aperitivo tonight.

I had a lovely time wandering the aisles and soaking in the morning atmosphere. There’s a real sense of community amongst the stall-holders as they shout out greetings to each other. And the food on display is fabulous – even if I, as always, found some of the more explicit meat and fish confronting to contemplate as food, pigs penises anyone?

This evening was paella and watching Spain WIN their World Cup match against France. It was very cool to be on the spot as Spain makes its way into the finals.
