Honestly, I’m a bit of an office supply nerd. That’s probably a cry for help or a definitive sign that I needed a career break. Anyhoo. If you’re going to be on the search for something special, why not spend your time in the fresh markets in Spain. Enjoying Spanish cuisine doesn’t have to be just in the restaurants. Why not head out and spend some time exploring all the good and healthy freshness available to you in the markets. You’ll certainly taste it in the meal you make back at your hostel or rented apartment.
Of course, if office supply catalogs are your thing, don’t go any further reading this post. Just get back to it. Those file folders aren’t going to order themselves!
