A summer day four friends and me, went to Valencia to see a street market. When our mothers proposed the idea it sounded great, shopping for earrings and a lot of things, but when we arrived to the market we discovered that it wasn’t as we had imagined. It wasn’t a normal market. It was a kind of barter which isn’t paid in euros, was paid "Soles". It is a much more supportive and alternative system, the people associated exchange services, objects and knowledge. It’s a project by people for people, independent of political, religious or economic. For more information have a website: The creative network and solidarity.
While we were in the barter, “Canal 9” came to get an interview, and they make a video while we sold or bought items. It was a great day and I'm glad to have known this alternative system.
