Mercado Central and La Lonja de La Seda

After a late night with my roommates, I woke up first and went out to meet a girl who I go to the University with.  First stop: Mercado Central.  This market is one of the oldest European markets still running.  There were stands with pastries, meat, seafood and wine.  There were fruit stands with naturally made fruit juice cups and chocolate stands.  There were places for souvenirs.  The front of the market is pictured on the left.

After a quick snack of real pineapple coconut juice and pastries, we walked across the street to La Lonja de La Seda.  This building was constructed in the 15th century out of stone.  It used to be one of the biggest commerce hub in Spain.  In addition to the big room, there is a chapel and different rooms for different types of business, such as sea.
