With hundreds of stalls selling fruits, veggies and meats, Valencia's Mercado Central (or Mercat Central) is among the largest fresh food markets in Europe. And although it has one of the city's principal tourist attractions, it remained popular among locals as well, many of whom do their everyday shopping here.
The Mercado Central dates from 1918, and while climbing the stairs to its main entrance, it's nearly impossible not to stop and admire the facade. Ceramic tiles are set above the arches, framing a massive circular window which bears Valencia's coat of arms.
