    Me llaman muchisimo la atencion la variedad de especias de vuestros mercados. Nosotros las usamos mucho menos y lo más habitual es que las compremos en pequeños botecitos. Asi que no es fácil deleitarnos la vista y el olfato con imágenes como las que tu nos muestras.
    Encantada de conocerte.
