Will leave for Hyeres mid-day tomorrow and berth at the Amel pontoon at the marina at Hyeres-Plage on Saturday. The market in Barcelona is a great place not only for fresh produce, cheeses, meat and fish but also to have lunch at the tapas bars inside. We had a really good plate of grilled seafood, ordering made simple by asking for the "mixta". The fresh juice stalls located all over the market serve interesting mixes of fresh fruit juices, some blended with coconut. Will provision boat before leaving tomorrow with veg, fruit and bread from the market. Went for a walk this evening through Barcelona's narrow streets, dotted with restaurants, wine bars, boutques and the occasional Chinese shop selling tourist items made in the motherland. The marina is very quiet at night.  Dinner on board with one of the excellent bottles of wine Colin gave us.  Thanks, Colin, great choice!
