I used to buy produce from Spain directly, literally driving around in a refrigerated van purchasing goods, usually from Valencia, Catalonia and Navarra. I bought cured meats,cheeses, rice, canned goods, beautiful olive oil, pickled vegetables, olives and saffron. I loved it and did it for some years until i started getting the goods together in one location, put on a palette and delivered to the restaurant by a international transport company. More rational and economical but not so enjoyable. I met so many interesting people and tried so many interesting products searching for the produce, i miss these times.
Anyway one year I photographed my return journey across Spain from the van:
