Week 43: Mercado Central

Filed under: — Administrator @ 08:59

On Saturday, I decided to explore the Central Market of Alicante. Every Spanish town has one or several of those markets, where many locals go for serious food shopping. I have visited such places in Seville (where every neighbourhood has one) but the one in Alicante is bigger and more interesting.
