Gracia Quarter Streets

Some Barcelona quarters have a certain aura, some kind of mood. That atmosphere can be perceived even in individual streets taken out of context, with no extra reference, just by taking a quick look, if you have been in that neighborhood before of course. The combination of architecture, people clothes or even the way light falls upon its streets due to their orientation towards the Sun, the amount of trees, or how high its buildings are, may be relevant to determine what part of Barcelona we are talking about in just a wink. And this one is...Gràcia, of course.

Hanging Market Scale in Small Barcelona Shop

Hanging market scale in small Barcelona shop next to Mercat de l'Abaceria in Travessera de Gràcia. The open maize ears, those corn cobs decorated with their own husk as well as the sifters on the wall really grabbed my attention. I would say this was mostly a grain shop judging by the content although the onions would be really out of place.

Egg Stand, Travessera de Gràcia Market, Barcelona

An egg stand at Mercat de L'Abaceria aka Travessera de Gràcia market in Barcelona. There was a very similar post about another egg stall in La Boqueria. I think both are quite attractive and you really feel like buying dozens of eggs thanks to their imagination and good taste.
