I think that you must be able to buy any food imaginable here in this market. Also for such a landlocked country the variety and freshness of the fish is almost unbelievable. You would think that it had just been hauled off the quayside. I wonder why we English cannot provide this standard and quality. We spend quite a while wandering around the stalls but it is freezing cold and we are forced into a cafe for hot chocolate which was very welcome.
One of the things that we see for sale in the market and in some of the beer kellers is something called Sturm it is fermented grape juice only available for a few weeks in the autumn. It is on sale everywhere and people are drinking it in the open air cafes. We did not have any but I later read that it is very potent and Sturm means new wine.

We are lucky in the choice of cafe that we choose as it is right by the Majolika House one of the finest examples of an Art Nouveau style house
