On Saturday morning my friend Sophie and I headed in to Manchester after hearing that a Spanish Fiesta was taking place in Albert Square.

There didn’t seem to be too much advertising around this event, as we only heard about it on Friday afternoon, but we were up and out on Saturday and ready to explore!

It was a gorgeous, sunny day in Manchester…

We wandered around the market, and noticed that some of the stalls were taken by Spanish restaurants…
