Barcelona Mercat de la Boqueria

Every city has a few special places where people gather together to experience the delightful ambience, and very often you will find that the main food market is one of the most exciting destinations in town. Occupying a city block filled with food and shoppers in the center of Barcelona, the Mercat de la Boqueria food market is a Great Public Place that is fascinating any time of the day, but especially worthwhile early in the day when not much else is happening in town. Most of Barcelona does not open until well after breakfast, except for this busy place, located along the famous Rambla boulevard, which in itself is another Special Space to explore later. The market begins to stir from 6:00am when the first merchants arrive and a few coffee counters open inside the hall and just outside, making this about the only place in town available for a pre-dawn caffeine fix. The market is fully up and running by 7:00am and stays open all day, making this a great place to hang out, watch the colorful action, get a coffee and maybe pick up some snacks for your busy day ahead. Even if you are not an early-bird, don’t need any food and have no interest in architectural history, simply walking through this market is a rich adventure for your senses, passing row after row of perfectly displayed fruits and vegetables arranged by workers who really care about visual impact, color and aesthetics. At the same time you are immersed in the bustling atmosphere of busy shoppers and merchants …
We finish off what’s left to do in Mirumu, as Millenia actually shows some sympathy towards Sandra. For the Wings of Valmar, she sure does a lot of good deeds. We also kick Selene out of the village and learn more about its architectural history, while having philosophical dinner conversation.

No visit to the Boqueria is complete without stopping by at Bar Central – walk down the middle of the market until you are nearly out the far end and you will find it on your right. Don’t be surprised if you have to wait for a stool at peak times – but do wait , it’s well woth it!

I think there’s a major difference between Gadan and Aira that allows Aira another chance.
Gadan gave in to Valmar. He gave his heart and soul, abused his people.
Aira, though she was possessed, still had a pure spirit. Her intentions were good, and she used the power of Valmar to try and make things better. She had no clue it was Valmar, she believed it was Granas. Darkness or not, her intentions probably made all the difference in her redemption compared to the fate of Gadan.

Remember we never actually see what the Horns look like either.

I guess the reason why Millenia is not “entirely bad” is because of Elena.
Elena must have some sort of influence over Millenia that makes her give in to human emotions

Bummer we don’t get to smack down Selene right then and there, but at least we get to make a reckus in the Cathedraw later. They says it’s a big sin to spill blood in a church. Wonder how bad it would be to do it in the cathedral where the Pope resides.

Millenia is strange tbh. Even though she’s a Part of Valmar she prefers taking a Human form. Every part has 2 forms.. the crabthing and Gadan for the tongue and so on. But Millenia stays a Human and even has human … well …. feelings like pity
