worth a mention for sure, these nuts home made log figurines that kept poppin up all over the shop.

regrettably i didn't purchase one and i didn't even get any of my own pictures. it didn't really register when i first saw them, probably through exhaustian and lack of sleep but i soon realised what a gem i'd missed out on.
i think they're mint. the fact that every one is hand crafted and hand painted means no two are the same and they differ form stall to stall as you walk dwn the road.

perhaps the rerason i didn't buy one as the first stall i saw were so shit that they were magnificantly brilliant and not to be matched. i figured to buy any other was to be an unjustice.

a couple of links explaining their purpose if you're wondering as i did_

ace guide to barca on th ealternative side,. super super handy form a hip finger on the pulse student point of view. would recommend using it in conjunction with a boring guide book too, just for accuracy and detail they missed out.
