Clara, wearing this, shows me around the Mercado de Atarazanas, Málaga's beating heart for fresh food and local produce.

“You must come back to try the níspero in May. Brevas, the sweetest figs, in June.”

A dazzling palette rivaled only by her beautiful patchwork robe.

A visual feast. Romantic, confident, artful, entirely thrilling.
