One of the most emblematic places, which combines architecture and high quality products, it is the Central Market in Valencia. It is a building with more than a hundred years Valencian modernist style. It is concentrated on historical area, formed by La Lonja and the symbolic church of Santos Juanes.
It has nothing to envy to other markets in the country, offering a much more competitive price and quality. You will be thrilled by the atmosphere created and the way the light is distributed by the dome, very characteristic in this building.
What can you find inside the market?
You have to take a tapa or sandwich in the Central Bar by Ricard Camarena, an excellent and varied menu that changes depending on the product of the season.
With a total of 8,160 square meters dedicated to fresh products which are divided into fish area and rest of the market. In it you shall allow yourself to have the luxury of taking cheese from the region and ecological products from the Valencian agriculture.
Do not forget to visit the most popular shops such as the fruit shop Virginia, which offers exotic fruits from around the world. You cannot miss beans and peas in Carme Catala, three generations peeling products for a soup called Puchero.
And choose the best pescadito in Pepin. To enjoy one of the best charms of the city of Turia, we recommend you to look for a cheap rent. A good option is the city centre; for example, El Barrio del Carmen because it has a huge offer of leisure and entertainment. Here you will find a cheap accommodation in a touristic apartment that makes you feel at home and allows you to cook whatever you decide to buy in Mercado Central.
