Valencia, Spain Markets

Discovered the markets in Valencia the other day. Really it wasn't that hard; They are huge.

They have an amazing array of meats, cheeses and seafood. Many of which are legal in Australia for customs reasons. Its cool seeing a leg of ham with hoof attached.

I bought myself some salami and pate which was an extremely difficult task given I don't speak Spanish (or Catalan for that matter) and the crowds where huge.

I wish I could that one of the hams home. Maybe next time I'm here I'll rent an apartment with kitchen so that I can have some fun.

One thing that I have noticed is that there was a very small variety of vegetables. Without including Asia vegies and parsley was about the only fresh herb. I guess the Spanish like there meat.
