Lunch in the Cadiz Market

Our cottage friends, Rob and Karen, told us about the central market in Cádiz. They suggested that we visit it as it is amazing and there are a lot of tapas bars surrounding the main market. We like tapas!

The market was built in 1838, on the site of property that belonged to an old convent.? We heard that there are more than 100 stalls selling fresh seafood, meats, olives, pastries, and much more. Oh, to have a market like that at home!

As we were there on a Sunday, the main market was closed but the market had an area called the Rincón Gastronómico around the market, which served up all kinds of international as well as local dishes at the outdoor tables.

It is Carnaval weekend and all the tables were full of costumed people eating tapas and drinking beer. Of course we joined them! We asked a few people what they were eating and where they bought it. So we ended up trying foods that we didn’t have a clue what we were eating but everything was tasty.

Thanks Rob and Karen for the tip!Read more
