The #14thCentury accounts of the #LadyOfClare record purchases there over the years: salt, often; also furs & lambskins; smoked herring, cod & stockfish; rice & almonds. #Almonds were bought in great quantity, used by the pastry chef from Paris & to indulge the pet #parrots.
Went for a little 4k run between my hotel and the Magic Fountain of Montjuïc. I even spotted some green Monk Parrots, the same as we have back home. They're actually native to South America, but have been introduced to at least two continents, without becoming disruptive to the local ecosystems. One of the first things I noticed when we arrived was their distinctive call, welcoming us. You know, if they can make a home here maybe I can, too, someday.
