Brussels: Tour Japonnaise

I wish I’d taken pictures of it during the day… and I did when I visited the Royal Greenhouses of Laeken. You’ll find the photo here. But here, you’ll see photo of this rather unusual landmark taken at sunset.

España: reporting from the seafood auction

I’d never been to one of those, and it’s kind of interesting to see how it works. At the end of each day, the fishermen come back from from the sea and try to sell what they fished at the best price possible. To do so, they unload their fish from their boats and bring it to what is called the outcry market. There, professionals bid on the price of the fish.

España: Teulada

It’s Teulada‘s turn to get its own post on my blog. While visiting Spain last week, I spent a day there and went to the local flea market. I also went to a great seafood restaurant owned by a French guy.

Last week, I visited a few towns on the Costa Blanca in Spain. In this first Spanish post, I’m taking you to Jàvea (Xàbia in Valencian).
