Must see, best food market in the world
Must see, as it is free and has so much interesting food to experience and see. The market is bustling and truly superior to any food market we have ever seen in North America. We spent one morning walking and picking up snacks along the way.

This is mainly a food market with almost everything one can imagine and most of it beautifully displayed.
On every must-see list and it’s a must see. This is mainly a food market with almost everything one can imagine and most of it beautifully displayed. Planned our day to eat lunch here and it was great. Bar Central fish counter for garlic shrimp – excellent, scallops – excellent, plate of peppers – excellent, not spicy, fried artichoke – excellent, white fish filet – excellent, cold beer, Spanish wine. Yum! The counter surrounds the kitchen on four sides and is busy. There is a pleasant but busy maitre’d who shepherds the seating around the bar. We walked up, asked for seating for four and he immediately politely asked a person to move over one stool and we waited 3 minutes as three people were paying and voila, we sat down. Don’t be put off with how busy it looks. Definite go-back.
