Tel Aviv Port Farmer's Market: Tel Aviv, Israel

Date:  26 janvier 2012
Location:  Tel Aviv Port
Tel Aviv, Israel

Tel Aviv port has a farmer's market much like other cities - San Francisco (Ferry Plaza), Barcelona (La Boqueria), or Madrid  (Mercado de San Miguel http://soledad-bleu-etoile.blogspot.com/2011/01/mercardo-de-san-miguel-madrid.html).  

Here, it is a smaller version (since Tel Aviv is a small city), yet same colorful idea.  Fresh seasonal fruits and vegetables, artisanal cheeses, cafes cooking up local Mediterranean seafood fare, some wines (hehe it's me, Sole!), dried nuts, and of course cured meats.  I am always happy walking through this place because it reminds me of the many travels (home and abroad) where I laze the day away, eating my way through the market, picking at things here and there.  Pero NO TOCAR!  Translation:  Don't take that single cherry from the middle of the huge triangle stack!!!

Take a stroll through the Farmer's Market and eat your way through, and finish with a cup of Americano.  Then walk outside again along the port and watch the sun setting on the waves crashing against the shore.  The Medi life  Slow it down, take a breath, and smile.  Solesmile.  :)
