The law is very strict, and I can imagine that it's due to hot weather. But it's normal to buy vegetables in the street markets, and other food like dry cod, honey, bottled food, cold meat...<br /><br />In the North of Morocco you can buy ANYTHING in the street markets. And here the word "anything" means exactly "anything". It's amazing!Mail Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574231572383527950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738287346138273654.post-75296236876352496562012-05-14T01:45:41.105-07:002012-05-14T01:45:41.105-07:00Thank you for your comment, Hawwa!

In the few larger cities I visited in Spain (and I only have visited the south of Spain), there were large market halls where people bought their fresh fish and vegetables. I didn't see outdoor markets in these city centers, whereas in the Dutch cities I know, these weekly markets are in the center (like the one on the picture), where both fresh food and non-food things (cloths, textiles, flowers) are sold. I've indeed seen a few street markets in Spanish villages, though here non-food things were sold (including 'touristic' stuff), while the fresh fish/vegetables were bought in the supermarket or indoor market hall. <br />So that 'colours' my 'knowledge' :-) <br />As said, thank you for your comment! Postcards not only connect but also spread knowledge and prevent presuppositions! (and bring good ideas: I should visit Spain many more times :-)Heleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18206346242374113741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1738287346138273654.post-69945595522632510752012-05-13T13:34:38.947-07:002012-05-13T13:34:38.947-07:00Thank you for your postcard, Heleen!

It's a beautiful view and one of my favourite subjects.<br /><br />But it's a strange idea that in Spain we have few outdoor markets (!?). We have weekly street markets in every single town and village, even in the big cities. In the village where I'm currently living it takes place on Friday (but I've never visited it, can you believe that?). Sometimes these weekly markets have medieval origins.<br /><br />And you're right with the weather: here the hardest thing is to put up with the sun...Mail Adventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17574231572383527950noreply@blogger.com
