Mercat Central d’Alacant

The Mercat Central d’Alacant is a lively indoor market in the heart of Alicante, offering over 290 stalls across two floors where vendors sell fresh seafood, meats, cheeses, fruits, vegetables, baked goods and local specialties.  Housed in a distinctive early-20th-century eclectic building inaugurated in 1921, its arched roof, tile-clad façade and large glass windows give it a historic and vibrant ambience.  It’s not just a place for shopping but a cultural experience: many visitors stop by the cafes inside for a vermouth or tapas among the bustle of local commerce.
