Wahoo! Summer's here! In search of a pair of cool gaffas de sol without the designer price tag?…read moreWell, you could pick up a knock-off pair from the street hawkers flogging phonies at the playa or on Calle Don Juan de Austria OR you could get the real deal for 30% off at ViSualis. Buying a fake Louis Vuitton handbag probably won't pose a threat to your health but buying dodgy sunglasses could damage your eyesight in the long term (I'm talking retinal damage and cataracts!) as uncoated lenses won't give you full protection from harsh UV rays. I bought my retro Ray Bans at ViSualis for €50 less than I had seen for sale in other nearby tiendas! My cheap & hazardous tortoiseshell "Ray Benis" are now going in the rubbish.

As far as markets go, it's more of a food stall market; different restaurants and cafes and some…read morebeautiful outdoor seating (not a market selling produce and dry goods, etc). Unfortunately, most of the restaurants were closed when I went but I was still able to find a place serving snacks, wine and coffees. Also, most of the restaurants are low rated so I was hesitant to try them out (mostly poor service related), but I did take a chance on the Japanese restaurant downstairs; one of the higher rated spots that turned out to be pretty good. I would go for the architecture alone, just incredible. Beautiful space to just sit and read or chat with friends with a glass of wine.

I enjoyed strolling around the entire market and watching people gather for a drink, a meal or just a snack. Spanish people like to take their time while they get together, it's just a nice social thing to do. The Colón Market was designed by the architect Francisco Mora Berenguer in the early 20th century, making it one of the most iconic examples of Valencian art nouveau, which has certain features that recall Gaudí's buildings in Barcelona. The structure has been listed as a National Monument. The large building is divided into three sections, enclosed at either end by two brick and stone entrances in the style of triumphal arches. The colorful façade is highly decorative, with the ceramic details typical of the region. An artistic wrought iron fence surrounds the premises. All these features have been painstaking restored. Today, the height of its ceiling and numerous entrances make the market a bright, open space. Built to cater to the upper class of the period, it is in fact still located in one of the areas with the highest purchasing power in the city, the Ensanche. Every day it receives numerous visitors, who come to pass the time at its outdoor cafés. The market hours are from 8.00 a.m. to 1.30 in the morning, but each establishment can set its own opening times
