Fruits and Vegetables

Have we mentioned recently how much we are enjoying the abundance of excellent fruits and vegetables in Barcelona?

Here is Pat posing on our balcony with the blog-worthy treasure trove she returned with an hour ago.
And they were a great bargain (you will note that Pat is smiling).
  • 2 kilos of artichokes (count of 9) for 1 euro (about $1.25 now)
  • 2 kilos of tomatoes (15) for 1 euro
  • 1 kilo of big ripe stawberries for 2 euros
Furthermore, when the price is quoted for 2 (or 3) kilos, you are not allowed to buy less. When Pat went to the counter with less than 2 kilos of tomatoes, they sent her back for more to make weight.

She was happy to comply.

What are they feeding those fruits and vegetables? I think those are the larges strawberries I have ever seen.
