There is a market on Wednesday and Sunday mornings in Loche. The vendors meander up and around most of the streets in the central shopping area, which has been pedestrianized; vehicles only allowed for deliveries. We have been to the market several times, but Wednesday was the first time Bill took his camera out of the case. I know, it's hard to believe. He has been much too busy looking and smelling and tasting and buying, to even think about picture taking!

To go food; paella, or roasted chickens, either whole or pieces, with vegies that have cooked in the drippings. The smell is so good you drool! |

Olives! |
We will be back to the market several more time during our stay, I'm sure. There is one woman who sells the best tomatoes....
