Granville Island Public Market, Vancouver

By August 3, 2008Canada, Vancouver

While in Vancouver we spent a few days on Granville Island. The collection of shops, marinas, parks and pubs there makes walking around the small island really enjoyable, and the views across to downtown Vancouver are great. We particularly liked the Granville Island Public Market, a conglomeration of grocers, fruit sellers, chocolatiers, artists, butchers, bakers and candlestick makers housed in a large airy warehouse-like marketplace fronting the harbor. We bought bags of Rainier cherries and chowed down on them while strolling through the aisles and looking over the gastronomic delights.
