Before my appointment with the government, I had breakfast in the Mercat de Colón (the Columbus Market). Again I splurged with fresh squeezed Valencia orange juice and hot chocolate the consistency of pudding which I savored spoon by spoon. All around me was Spanish, French, and accented English.

Another Art Nouveau gem, this pavilion was built 1914 - 1916 as a market for a growing neighborhood. A refurbishment in 2003 has brought it to the foodie haven it is today, lined with restaurants and bars on two floor.
