Interesting that the sheep/goat heads seem to have the brains removed, possibly
the brains are a delicacy that is of more value sold separately. I'm inclined
to think monochrome is a good choice for these images.

> Subject: [OM] Nathan's PAD 20/3/2021: three Mercado Central vignettes
>
> Going to the Mercado Central here in Alicante used to be one of my
> customary Saturday morning pleasures, often more to look than to buy.
> During the pandemic I have been going much less often; the layout of the
> market is such that keeping the 2 meters distance is virtually impossible,
> and I
> found it a generally unpleasant experience in the circumstances. But now
> that I have had the Covid myself, I am less concerned for my own safety, and
> also I have to say that compliance with the sanitary measures (masks, hand
> cleaning etc.) is quite exemplary. So on Saturday I walked around the
> Mercado a bit. I was pleased to see that some of the posts that had gone out
> of business last time I was there in the autumn have now reopened under
> new management. The character of the market is slowly changing; there are
> now several small bars and cafés like in the Boquería in Barcelona, something
> that did not exist at all a year ago. There are also a couple of new
> higher-end
> shops, such as one selling good coffee from around the world (I have never
> had Cuban coffee!), and one selling products from Germany, where I bought
> some excellent bratwurst from Baden-Würtemberg. As always, much of the
> pleasure is to photograph the more traditional part of the food. I choose
> B&W for these 3 images, just because I felt like it.
