London: Mercat St Josep

Posted by Laura Geggel at 01:24 PM

We finally found Mercat St Josep today! It's right off Las Rambas and has every sort of fresh produce you could imagine. Sarah, Tom and I split up to find supplies for our picnic; we ended up buying grapes, tomatoes, salted almonds, clementines and omelets. (I was full for the rest of the day). We took our lunch up to the old 1992 Olympic village and walked around before finding a nice grassy area near the stadium to sit. Barcelona built such a huge arena and it's a bit odd to see it deserted.
