Plaza de Abastos

The Market Square is not anywhere near as big as the Boqueria market ... But it has something that makes it special. Among the churches of San Felix and San Augustine, and the stalls offering seafood, meats, fruits, and vegetables, you'll find a remarkable glimpse of local colour, and this is said to be the second most visited spot in the city, after the cathedral. The cooperative that runs it has introduced some modern services - you can now buy online - but the traditional feel remains, with the bustle, the smells, the noise of the chickens ...
