The conference has begun! But before it started we made our way to the Central Market of Valencia, and it is spectacular! The iron, glass and ceramic domes are – in a word – stunning. This market is considered one of the oldest European markets still running. We found an abundance of food vendors, a few souvenir shops and restaurants as well.

DAY TWO: La Boqueria continues to be a great place for people watching and gawking at the amazing selection of food so artfully displayed.

Did you know Barcelona has over 40 public markets which receive an average of 68 million visitors a year? They are a vital part of Barcelona's economy and identity.

Do you think the public market network in New Orleans can help neighborhoods create a better sense of identity? What role do Public/Private partnerships play?
