As this is not right in downtown, you'll find very few tourists here and a more local experience. It's mainly based on food for home-cooking, but ready made tapas can be found as well. Enjoy a walk around the many colourful stalls in this cozy market, that also includes non-food stalls. Note that the market is closed on Sundays.
