Day 12, San Sebastian Market



San Sebastian used to have a large outdoor farmers market.  However, like most other European cities, the market has been moved to a permanent indoor structue with modern ammenities like bathrooms and refrigeration (imagine!).  This market has a large fish market with creative displays of fish, as well as many Jambon de Iberico, a local specialty ham whcih comes with the hoof.  They hang these from the rafters for 2-4 years to cure them.  They can be seen hanging in all the local restaurants and bars as well.
