So yesterday my friends and I were walking around exploring Barcelona when we stumbled upon this amazing street festival that was dedicated solely to food and drinks. I found out after that it was the
Mercat de Mercats event. So at first it seemed like it was just all meat and cheese and I was going to be out of luck. BUT, I have said it before and I will say it again, you need to just ask!
I saw an amazing pasta tent and asked if any of the dishes they had made were without meat or cheese and they gave me a huge plate of amazing pesto pasta. And it was only 2 euros! That is really cheap for that heaping pile of pasta!

A little bit oily because it was the bottom of the bowl |
Then, you guys won't believe it but I actually got to have a chocolate filled pastry that was vegan! I did not know this could happen outside of a specialty store. I asked the man running the stall twice if there were eggs or dairy in them and he swore there was not (and accompanied that with a weird look; I highly doubt he gets these questions a lot). Boy oh boy was that a delicious treat! And it was 2.50 euros and I split it with my two friends because it was massive. I mean seriously, look at the size of those things.

I had the dark chocolate filled one on the left. |
I also ended up buying a fresh mojito, which just completed my meal so well. I had all this great food, with great friends, and a great view for under 6 euros. Not a bad Saturday!
