A wonderful, clean and inviting neighborhood market with vendors selling meats, produce, cheeses,…read moreolives, seafood, baked goods, etc. It opens early in the morning and closes around 3pm. From our apartment, each day we watch the women heading to the market early. I think the key to finding the best vendors is seeing where the ladies line up to purchase their items.

Loved this market! Want to live in this neighborhood just so I can shop here on the regular. They…read morehave such a great selection of produce, meats, wine, olives, cheese, and all the jamon iberico you need (I need A LOT)--not to mention a solid selection of international items, including the most adorable Japanese stall. Plus they have a little food area where you can grab a coffee or beer or montadito. We walked around for a bit, picked up a bottle of rosé and vermut (both from the Valencia region), and then stopped by the food area for a bite. Ordered a montadito they recommended, which included a few meats and egg (all ingredients fresh from the market), and downed it with a couple beers. A couple other locals were doing the same, and it felt like we were a regular. A great feeling. When in Valencia, definitely check out the Mercado Central (it's amazing), but be sure to also explore the smaller, neighborhood markets like this one.
