The White Summer, an evening-night market in Serres de Pals near the beach, awaited its guests from 6-1 p.m. and invited to go shopping in the open air. Homemade jewelry, art, furnishings and small beach bars attracted many people to the small village even on a Monday evening. The red full moon threw its romantic light on the grounds of the old golf course, which was half shrouded in darkness, half shrouded in candles and lights and so full of love in the air that the quiet background music could hardly reinforce the relaxed atmosphere. True to the motto and dressed all in white, we drove past an overcrowded parking lot to the front of the entrance with our VIP tickets, and thanks to the priority, we immediately entered the premises and were greeted with a free sparkling wine.
We settled on wooden pallets covered with white cushions and stood on sand and sucked in the scents that drew up from the small stalls in VW buses. It was the scent of fresh, still warm chocolate cupcakes, decorated with pink sugar toppings that were turned like cream. The saleswoman wore a decorated lace apron and smiled at the ever-expanding line in front of her bus, never getting tired of selling her baked goods to visitors.
We tore ourselves away, let ourselves be drifted by the crowd’s stream and strolled past jewelry stands that had small, filigree bracelets and chains for both old and young. Decorated with fairy lights and candles, scarves and figures, the stalls were in front of us, just waiting to catch our attention.
A DJ enthusiastically played his songs, to whose sounds some of the visitors moved on a dance floor meadow, giggling children walked around and with wide eyes stopped in front of stands with sweets, the youth sat cool in one of the many Chillout lounges and the rest seemed so inspired by the evening mood that it could hardly be captured in a photo.
In the building of the old golf course, we came across art pieces: colorful picture frames that had wire inside instead of the glass and invited to hang small memos, passport photos and old cinema tickets, with small, rounded mirrors embroidered pockets One evening in the disco waited and handwritten crockery, which seemed almost perfect for the Sunday afternoon cake.
Exhibitors who were always willing to accept questions and suggestions and customers who recognized the unique and rare goods and were willing to pay a correspondingly fair price for them. Stairs in this rustic building we went to other exhibition rooms that were filled with fashion. Long, white beach dresses or vests made of lace confirmed the feeling of having landed on Ibiza and expensive Prada and Ray Ban sunglasses also made you want to go on a holiday in the south. Overwhelmed by the impressions, happily packed with small purchases and lots of pictures in our luggage, we left the premises shortly before the party started at 1 a.m. and left it to the youth.
