San José Central Market is the largest market of the city of San José. Established in 1880, it occupies an entire block on Avenida Central, 250m northwest of the Parque Central.

The market is covered by a roof entirely and contains a complex of narrow alleys with over 200 shops, stalls and sodas. For sure I went eating there 😋.

A huge range of meats, fish, fruits, vegetables, coffees, and other products are for sale including snakeskin boots and cowboy saddles, herbal remedies, flowers, cooked meals, souvenirs and local handcrafts. Tens of thousands of people visit the market daily.

You definitely can get lost in there 🤣.Read more
