Barcelona. November, 2012


Nick had asked me to bring home some pimentón from Spain. No problem. This stand in Barcelona’s fabled market, La Boqueria, had plenty. And so many kinds, that I had to ask (repeatedly) to make sure I bought the right stuff. Sweet and hot, both smoked. I also got some for myself, which I have been using in every chili, curry, stew and soup I’ve made all year. It adds such a lovely smoky enhancement to them all. And even though I’ll only be in Barcelona for a few hours on our next trip this autumn, La Boqueria and this stall are definite stops. (I hope the lovely, patient lady from Ecuador is still working there.)
