AVA BRANDING

During my stay there I tried to hit as many tourist sights as I could. My favourite place I discovered was a recycled market hiden away in a court yard.

A close second was 'St. Josep La Boqueria'. This was another market which sold fresh food, smoothies, handmade sweets and ice cream. Although everything there was cheap, I could have spent every penny I had in there.
