Looking for info on the Mercados not to miss along the Camino Frances. Thinking about our other trips to France, Spain and Portugal and mercados such as La Boqueria in Barcelona and Mercado de San Miguel in Madrid. I love seeing and sometimes purchasing all the fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood and other foods in these markets. Suggestions please? (Yep, a refreshing question not about socks, ponchos or sleeping bags, lol)
