La Cala Market

I went shopping on Saturday at the local La Cala market which is usually a flurry of activity. However, the weather was rainy so the number of vendors and shoppers were less in number than usual but I still had fun. Sorry but I could not help thinking that at home there was snow with temperatures probably below zero and here I was out shopping in the warm rain trying to pick a knock-off designer purse.

The funny thing is that when it rains really hard here it is similar to having bad snow conditions at home. The highways here become very slippery and more accidents tend to happen, so it is advisable to avoid the roads in Spain when it is pouring out. Drainage plans for the roads do not seem to be a priority, the roads can become mini rivers and you can feel the vehicle tires slipping on the roads when accelerating from a stop. The good news is that the bad weather never lasts long.

You can buy almost anything at the markets, right from food to shoes to Xmas decorations!
