Then we entered Mercat de Sant Josep - probably Barcelona’s best-known market. It is a must-see whether sourcing ingredients for a fine meal or just wandering through.
It´s an assault on the senses with smells coming from the fish to the fruit. The food sold ranges from a wide variety of meats (including sheep's heads - yecch!), mushrooms of every kind, delicious looking vegetables to literally fresh, out of the sea, still-moving crabs and lobsters
After visiting another market, we strolled down some very narrow streets (so narrow that not even a Smart Car could fit) and enjoyed lunch in a Tapas bar. Across the street was an interesting store called "happy pills." The only shoppers in there were young women. It wasn't until we got home that we found out that "happy pills" are just candy - not what we thought it was.
