A New Newstand Daily | Barcelona

Finally, an open newsstand in Barcelona. Titles bursting from the opened doorway, spilling with importance onto the sidewalk. Ligilsa (Carrer Pegas 6) was so busy the shopkeeper hadn’t had time to straighten the La Vanguardia awning. Bad news selling might skew one’s views, too. Large selection of school supplies in FC Barcelona colors. 2012/13 La Liga cards in boxes opposite the cash drawer. Burnt matches on the change dish. Shopkeeper was smoking, and chatting on the phone. Cigarette to relieve stress, no doubt, while bargaining on the phone for a restock of hot-selling titles.
