The Mercado Central in Cádiz is one of the best places in the historic centre to see the city’s food culture at close hand. The market has served the people of Cádiz for almost 200 years, with stalls selling fresh seafood, meat, fruit, vegetables and other local products. The surrounding food area also gives visitors an opportunity to stop for tapas and drinks, making the market as much a place to experience everyday Cádiz as it is somewhere to shop.
I’ve been living in this lovely area of Western Andalucia for the last 20 years or so and dedicate most of my time to the running of English language tourist information websites for the towns of Cádiz, Ronda, Grazalema, the famous or infamous Caminito del Rey, and also Wildside Holidays, which promotes sustainable and eco-friendly businesses running wildlife and walking holidays in Spain. My articles contain affiliate links that will help you reserve a hotel, bus, train or activity in the area. You don’t pay more, but by using them you do support this website. Thankyou!
