This market is located in its own small square, both in a main building and in a strip of small…read morestorefronts directly next to the main building. The main building has glass windows so you can see some of the store fronts inside. Walking in around 9:30am on a Saturday morning there were a handful of early shoppers though not enough to make it crowded. There are about 20-25 total vendors, butchers, grocers, bakeries, convenience, florist, juice bar and clothing/accessories shops. A couple ethnic stores (Latin American and E Asian) from what I could tell. This is located in a less touristy part of town so prices looked overall pretty reasonable. There's not a lot of places to sit and enjoy any drinks/take away food, though there are a couple picnic tables outside and you could potentially pick somewhere along some stairs in the open square area next to the market if you need.

I've been to larger markets in Europe (Mercado de la Ribera in Bilbao, Mercado Bolhão in Porto and…read moreMercado Central which is not in Europe but is in Santiago) and while this one is smaller than those others, it has the good stuff. Butcher, produce, random groceries, a cheesemonger, wine vendor, baker (pastries and breads) and such. Lots to see and experience. Samples from some, narrow aisles, many different opportunities to stock your fridge with goodies. [Review 10675 overall, 443 of 2019.]

What a great barrio market! You see, every Italian town/city/village/borough has its own open air…read moremarket, offering from food to clothing. This event takes place twice a week. Streets are closed down, it's just for pedestrians. On Tuesdays, the stands offer mostly fruits and vegetables, fish and poultry and some flowers. Italian street markets are something to visit and preserve like a work of art. Some of the best fish from the Mediterranean are sold here, the best Italian fruits and vegetables, on Saturdays you'll find a food stands selling roast chicken or chicken skewers, nothing fried, no hamburgers or hot dogs, only local street food. These markets are a concentration of good smells, flavors, colors, produce at any price. The quality of fruit and veggies is much higher that what you buy at any supermarket. Local markets are one of the best things in Italy. They should do everything to preserve them. I'm particularly fond of this one, it's my barrio's street market:)
