“Yes, and those mussels also look good,” replied Pere.

Decidiren acostar-se a una parada de marisc.

They decided to approach a seafood stall.

El venedor, un home gran amb un somriure amagat sota una barba blanca, els oferí una safata plena de marisc fresc.

The vendor, an old man with a smile hidden under a white beard, offered them a tray full of fresh seafood.

“Aquest marisc és d’avui mateix, acabat de pescar,” digué el venedor.

“This seafood is from today, just caught,” said the vendor.

Montserrat somrigué i n’agafà unes quantes ostres.

Montserrat smiled and took a few oysters.

“Les ostres sempre són un plaer,” va dir, satisfeta.

“Oysters are always a pleasure,” she said, satisfied.

“Goat cheese is my favorite,” said Montserrat while pointing to a large white cheese.

“I aquest blau sembla deliciós,” afegí Pere, indicant una roda de formatge blava i forta.

“And this blue one looks delicious,” added Pere, indicating a strong, blue cheese wheel.

Mentre triaven els formatges, escoltaren una discussió acalorada entre dos venedors.

While they were choosing the cheeses, they heard a heated argument between two vendors.

Semblava que discutien sobre la frescor dels seus productes.
