In reply to Anita. Hi Anita, I'm really looking forward to La Mercado de Boqueria. I have also read about several in Barcelona that are not so well known. I may source at least one of those out if time permits. Will definitely visit Lagos on a Saturday morning for the market!

In reply to Nathalie. Hi Nathalie. I'm with you there. I always have the market locations sourced before I arrive!

Local markets are great wherever you are, it’s a great way to discover new foods, talk to the people who produce them and learn how to cook items that are new to you. Finding out about the local markets is always our first mission when we arrive at a new destination.

In reply to Shelley. Hi Shelley. I think I'll spend a night in Madrid on the way back to catch my flight in February. I'll definitely have a glass of wine for you, and tapas! Better yet, join me! :)

You are in for a treat at La Mercado de Boqueria in Barcelona as well as the farmer’s market every Saturday here in Lagos, PT! I think my favorite thing about the markets is seeing the colors of the fruits and vegetables displayed with such flare as well as the baked goods and other treats. Love your photo of the Chiang Mai market – a still life of fruits and vegetables!

In reply to Michele {Malaysian Meanders}. Hi Michele. If I ever get back, I will definitely be leaving with one. They were so lovely. Sounds like your son had a lot of fun with the fishmongers.

In reply to Kathy Marris. Hi Kathy. Yes, I love those bell peppers. In fact, the friend that I was with that day, purchased one for a wedding gift. I thought it was a perfect gift for newly weds!

In reply to Ruth – Tanama Tales.

Hi Ruth. I’m looking forward to the markets in Barcelona and Portugal. I think I will miss the main Christmas market in Barcelona. From what I’ve read it ends on December 23rd. However, there seems to be another one that goes into January. We don’t have many Christmas markets here in Korea. There are a couple put on my expat organizations, but I haven’t been able to make those this year.

In reply to Jackie Smith. Hi Jackie! It took me a minute to get what you were talking about re. the Pike Place Market. I was just a little tired when I was writing this post. (laughing here). I almost always buy my fruit and veggies from the local market. Generally, they are fresher and cheaper than the grocery store.
