Today is my chill day. Last night was a lot of fun but it left me in poor condition this morning. First thing I had to do was buy a huge bottle of water. Second: eat something...anything. 
I walked in the opposite direction than where most of the tourist attractions are in Barcelona and found myself in a very local and quaint neighborhood that has a lot of independent shops and restaurants. I quickly found a grocery store and bought a 1L bottle of water and downed it in about a minute. As I was meandering through the streets I came across a food market that looked very busy and full of local Barcelonians who didn´t (for the most part) speak any English. You know it´s a good food market when there are grandmas and middle class workers in the mix - that translates to quality and value. I saw that one of the stands was busy and people were sitting down to have breakfast so I grabbed a seat myself and just pointed at something as my way of ordering. The man said something to me in Spanish and I just nodded, but I think he got that I didn´t understand him. As he was making it I could see him looking over at me to see what my reaction was because I had no idea what was coming on my plate. It ended up being some sort of spinach and egg omelet inside a toasted baguette, with maybe some minced meat in there somewhere, or maybe not. In any case it was delicious and satisfied my appetite. I ordered a cafe au lait and the whole thing ended up being just over EUR3. Love it! 
I then got myself a little something sweet - traditional Spanish mini donuts - and made my way back to the hostel to grab a sweater and chill out for a bit.
I think the sun might be making its appearance and if that´s the case I will go enjoy a few hours at the beach.
Tonight there´s another party, also on the beach. Tonight I´ll be sure to eat dinner before going out haha...I went to an Italian pasta shop and bought some raviolis to cook tonight. MMM MMM
Love you all!
