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.]
