Sobre este Tip
The Mercado de Ruzafa is a neighbourhood market with more than 160 stalls, mostly local produce, fish, pickles, salted goods and huerta vegetables. It is quieter than the Central Market and closed on Sundays, so go on a weekday morning. The market has been running shorter hours while energy-efficiency works last, so check the city notice and arrive early rather than near closing.
