Central Market
Ciutat Vella, Valencia, Spain
The Central Market combines a working food market with a richly detailed architectural setting. Wander before deciding what to taste, paying attention to the produce, seafood and everyday shopping that make the place more than a visitor attraction. A guided food walk can add useful context, but independent browsing is equally rewarding. Visit as part of the market's working rhythm and avoid building the experience around a single stall whose opening arrangements may change.
