Address: Pl. de la Libertad, S/N, 11005 Cádiz
Mercado Central de Abastos is Cádiz at its most alive—fresh fish still glistening on ice, voices bouncing off neoclassical arches, and history layered into every stall. Built in 1838 on land reclaimed from the church, this isn’t just a local market in Cádiz—it’s a centuries-old stage for the city’s daily rhythm.
The architecture alone makes it worth the visit: Doric columns, a sunlit central pavilion, and over 170 stalls flowing with Andalusian color—think just-caught seafood, vibrant produce, artisan cheeses, and spice blends that hit you before you see them. Grab a paper cone of fried chocos or settle in at a wine bar inside the market’s gastropatio. It’s tradition, evolution, and pure Cádiz energy—served fresh, daily.
