Mercado Central, Andalucia, Spain

4.5 (1.183 reviews) Spent Ranking #7 in Costa de la Luz Farmers Markets

Food glorious foo

Friday 13th May we visited this market in the centre of Cadiz which was built on the site of a Farmers' Market which dated from the 1890s. We entered the Market through a rather grand arched gateway with the flag of Cadiz flying above it. The inside is lined with stalls selling meat, vegetables and fish, a stong stomach is required if visiting the fish market, we had a quick look from a distance. Household goods were also on sale here. Here is definitely designed for those people who enjoy their food, it is definitely a foodies paradise. with over a hundred stall and outlets selling all types of food to suit every taste. The foodstalls are lined up underneath the covered walkway, supported by columns, with their tables and chairs spilling out onto the courtyard they surround. Great spot to sit with tapas a glass of wine or a cold beer. There is even and an area Rincón Gastronómico, Gourmet Corner, which opened in 2009.

    Wonderful market
    It is indeed central and has a most impressive façade. There is a great selection of permanent market stalls inside selling superb fresh produce. The most impressive of these are the various fish vendors. We bought some wonderful juicy cherries at a very reasonable price.

    Great outdoor market
    We went to the central market for lunch. The market is quite large and the inside rows are lined with fish and vegetable stalls. Along the perimeter of the market area area nuremous restaurant stalls. We arrived just as prime time lunch started so it was really difficult to find anywhere with a table. But a lot of the restaurants looked great. Defintiely worth a wander and for lunch get there a bit early
