Day 3 - Sunday, quiet Sunday

The goal of Sunday was to check out the local market. The Globetrotter Travel Guide to the Canary Islands boasts an open-air market on Sunday with over 250 stalls. We walked for hours and found nothing. We went to every area with the word Catalina in it and found no market. Thanks Globetrotter.

While walking, we passed a workout area on the boardwalk. It was pretty cool and people were using it. The equipment was colorful and had a spectacular view of the ocean. As you can see, Alan couldn't pass up the opportunity to work on his calves.

Walking further and we find the music hall (Auditorio Alfredo Kraus). It is a very elegant building right on the rocky coast. The decorations all over the building were ocean themed. Medusa has octopus legs instead of snakes...

After a lot more walking and staring at the blue, blue ocean, we ended the day at La Olivia. Dinner was a bowl of papas arrugadas, a salad with cheese made on the island, and a plate of little fried sardines. I ate all but 4 of the little fishies, which were very tasty.
