Cabanyal Market

Today Sam and I went to the Cabanyal Market. Every day of the week, little markets pop up selling things--and every Thursday it's in Cabanyal--and the Cabanyal market is the BIGGEST!!! It was crazy--a little overwhelming. They're not selling fruits or veggies at this street market. They're selling clothes, bags, sheets, curtains, shoes, underwear, belts, accessories, makeup, movies, cds, etc, etc. You could find almost anything at the market. It was loco. It was entertaining just walking around and looking at all the people. The vendors will try talking to you--always calling you "guapa" (beautiful) and trying to make you listen to their deal. I didn't pull out my camera, but I wish I would have. It would have made for some memorable photos. I also didn't buy anything--but maybe next week I'll go back and buy something--today was more for exploring than buying. Then after that, Sam and I went to a bakery--ate a pastry and just talked. It was quite fun. Tomorrow I head to Granada (in Southern Spain) for the weekend. A 6 hour bus ride----each way! So look for a blog entry about that sometime next week. I also start finals next week. I have one on Monday, one on Wednesday, and one on Friday--so I'll be studying a lot, and preparing for a presentation and paper due the week after. All for now.
