El Rastro is a market that fills the streets each Sunday in La Latina neighbourhood - right near me!
People set up shops on the sides of the street and you can buy anything from clothes, jewelry, antiques, electronics, underwear (ick), etc. etc. Basically, if you can think of it you can buy it there.
Jessika standing awkwardly at El Rastro. Take note that she is wearing a tank top dress because it's right around 80 degrees here today. What's the temperature like in Minneapolis as I am writing this? 45 degrees? That sucks.
So many people come to El Rastro so the crowds are super intense. It reminds me of the MN State Fair on steroids. And better. Better than the state fair.
There were a few shops with dresses but amazingly I was able to control my dress addiction (and I purposely did not bring enough money) and I only bought one dress. Originally it was 13 euro but the lady bartered with herself and randomly changed it to 12 euro. She obviously does not know that I can not resist dresses and there was no need to change the price.
I also bought some earrings.
I'll leave you with this:
I saw this guy at El Rastro. I have the exact same shirt.
The market sounds like so much fun! I bet you can find some real treasures there. And yes the weather sounds great too, love the dress and earrings!
ReplyDeleteYou look like you're having so much fun despite that horrible weather! ;0) Love the dress, you drive a hard bargain with the locals. You better go easy on them since their economy isn't in the best shape. Glad to see you are getting your cheese and coffee quota filled. Espero que usted esté siendo seguro! Sheryl PM :)
