Ahh, the Granada market. The FDA's worst nightmare, the terror of every vegetarian, and every street dog's favorite place on earth. This is where the people of Granada come to get just about everything:  fruits, veggies, rice, beans, eggs, cheese, meat, and even various sundry goods like shoes, diapers, shampoo, dresses, and aprons. You name it, it's probably for sale down one of the alleys, on one of the street corners, or in the central market building (a half-indoor, half-outdoor structure teeming with colors, smells, and flashes of activity). 

Though it's quite a shock to our refrigerated, air-conditioned, sterilized, seran-wrapped American sensibilities, we are getting slightly more adventurous with our market purchases of strange fruits and veggies, and even some fish occasionally. But for now we'll leave those stacks of fresh beef to the professionals.
