Mercado Central

All semester I have been planning on having an update just about Mercado Central. Well I leave tomorrow so I guess its about time i get around to it (I'm finding there are a lot of things like that, that I'm barely having the time to get around to... where did this semester go?) Here are some pictures of the market - it is one of my favorite things in Alicante and something I will miss the most!

The bottome floor is half the fish market and half fruits and vegetables.
There are TONS of different vendors all selling similar things, but somehow
each one seems to always have its own loyal customers.


GIANT fish! there is always something new and cool every time i walk through here




This guy yelled at me for taking a picture .. rude.
But he sells all kinds of cool shellfish.

so many fresh huevos

beautiful fruit and veggie displays!


check out those strawberries! 1.50 euro for 1 kilo (2 pounds!!)

coffee!

Gomez.. my favorite place to get jamon y queso.
Some of the nicest people work there!



so much queso!



Huge flower market

Missing the market already!

    We always wondered what mystery meats our Senora was cooking for us...I hope I wasn't eating conejo but now that I think about it, we probably were.

  2. Miss the market every time I go to the grocery store--and I was only there for a couple of days. You're going to have to find yourself a place to live that at least has a good farmer's market.
