The streets were heaving and medieval merchants blurred in and out of the relaxed 21st century visitors, trying to get on with business as normal; this year marked the 32rd edition of Vic's medieval market, an annual event that sees the city invaded by many visitors.
Stalls lined the lanes of the city, and over a bridge there was a place to try out archery. We tried traditional food and watched traditional methods of making things, including massive knitting machines to make hats, and a man carving wood with a crowd gathered around. With the vendors dressed in typical clothing, the you got to see a glimpse into the past, a glimpse of how it might have been several hundreds of years ago.
