Big open plaza
This big open plaza takes its name of course from the indoor market which is the centrepiece, flanked by marble steps and with a huge array of all kinds of delicious things to consume. The Valencia card entitles you to a free drink and tapas from a variety of different sellers - choose which one appeals to you the most, there are several avaialble. The plaza itself is busy and bustling as you would expect - close to both the tourist district in the old part of town and the more modern part of the city towards the main railway station. A great place for getting to know the city and for people watching.

Centre of town
Pretty much the centre of the old town, the plaza is surrounded by magnificent buildings and occupied by a number of cafes, restaurants and tourist shops. On Sunday thare was a small outdoor market which seemd to specialise in coins, stamps and badges. If you spend any time in the city you will surely pass through here and it is worth lingering a while.
