Market report

 How smart is this... coffee bar set up next to the bank to serve the Sunday morning queue for cash. And opposite there is a stall selling macaroons - not the pretty little mouthfuls you get in the boulangerie but massive heavy lumps of the stuff, in fighting flavours. Expensive and worth every cent.

 Here a young woman labours on another embroidered masterpiece - she has three on display, this one nearing completion. Its taken 5 years so far and deals with esoteric symbols, ALL of them, probably. Beautifully done in petite point. She finishing up with the Hieroglyphic Monad which as we all know was John Dee trying to explain the nature of man (He was Elizabeth1's  alchemist/astrologer)
Esperaza market is brilliant.
